So sad to hear that Hickstead died of an aortic aneurism just shortly after competing in a jumping competition in Italy.
On a happier note, here in town a family which had their house burn down basically to the ground the other day got a nice surprise 11 hours later when the excavators were pulling off the collapsed upper story so that fire investigators could get access to the home. Their 200-lb English mastiff Daisy, who had followed the husband back into the home when he dashed in for clothes but didn't manage to follow him back out, had somehow survived the smoke, the fire, the destruction, and came rushing out. She suffered from minor smoke inhalation and burns but is going to be a-ok. Considering they were expecting the excavator or inspectors to turn up her remains, that definitely did put a better light on the whole situation!
