Homage To Hickstead: 'We Will Never Forget'

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Hello everyone :)
Hope everyone's doing okay.
So, as some of you knew, I had been working on a tribute to Hickstead that sadly passed away last November.
I started this video I don't know how many times this past week but it just never felt right - because of the music, the clips that didn't match together as I wanted to honour Hickstead as he deserved. Then I realized I was just never capable of it - when I managed to finish it, I just had to accept that.
This was a very difficult video for me to make, if not THE most difficult. I've never done a tribute in my video experience until now. I cried while I was making it. I could barely see what I was doing at some points, and I'm crying right now while I'm writing this because I feel like a failure, and I'm not ashamed to say it. Hickstead deserved so much more. It's harsh. But anyways.
My heart also goes to Eric Lamaze and the people whose lives were touched by this horse. They lost a great friend and partner.
Rest in peace, Hickstead. Our hearts are with you. I hope you are happy and that you like this video wherever you are :')
Soph.

    R.I.P. Hickstead. 1996-2011 -It was a pleasure to watch you put your whole heart into what you did and come out a winner. We will never forget what you did, what you've won, and who you were. ~As for Eric Lamaze, stay strong. we know you will not have another horse like Hickstead.... but ride. stay riding. He would want that.

    Thank you everyone for your support. It means the WORLD to me, and I'm sure it's meaning the world to Hickstead aswell. I bet he is galloping and jumping all the way on a beautiful green field up in the skies. :) It's been another year, such a special year with all of you, and you've never stopped supporting all the way. I don't know how I can thank you enough except from writing but I hope you understand how much you all mean to me! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! :D
