Hickstead

It's nice to be back home again, and after a couple of days off ( that I spent sleeping!) I'm back on track again! Yeasterday we went to a show in Linköping with Dunder, Olle, Turmalin and new horse Baltimore. All horses jumped clear and did nice rounds!
We got Baltimore (nicknamed Bengan) a couple of weeks ago, he's a seven year old stallion by Balou du Rouet. At home he has been behaving perfectly but we were told that he could be a bit of a monster at the show. He was a little bit freaky but he is more overexcited then mean so I think he is gonna be fine after a couple of shows!
On my way home I got the terrible news about Hickstead passing away at the show in Verona. I can't even imagine how it must feel for Eric and his groom Delfine. As someone wrote; we all lost a true superstar, they lost their best friend, so very sad. He is a true legend and one of these horses that everyone will remember. Sara
