Gold for Canada!

Ya! Eric Lamaze and Hickstead won gold in the individual jumping! Sweden won silver, and Bezzie Madden (love her!) got the bronze!! Eric has overcome so much to make it to where he is today - how wonderful for him!

Watched him ride and he deserves it

What an amazing ride he and his horse put in. The others were great to watch also.

Glad he finally did it, way to go Eric and Hickstead.

I got to finally watch the show jumping late last night and even though I knew who won, I was on the edge of my seat. It was a great performance by all but I was very proud of Eric. He has come so far and to win gold, I had a couple of tears myself. I was also amazed at the horse that was only 15'2 do the jumps. I think she only one penelty. Simply Amazing.
