ARCHIE FINDS THE FILLY tells how, with the help of new friend Buzzy the Bee, Archie goes in search

little filly. Lots of fun as they meet all the new babies who arrived this spring and, of course, our little hero finds the filly and introduces her to grandpa

Eric Lamaze and Hickstead Inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame


Calgary, Alberta – Olympic show jumping champions Eric Lamaze and Hickstead were in- ducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame during a virtual ceremony held Sunday evening, October 3, 2021. Inducted in the ‘Team’ cate- gory, Lamaze and Hickstead are widely considered to be the best competitors of their era. Among their many feats was claiming the Olympic Championship title at


the 2008 Beijing


Olympics and leading Canada to the team silver medal. Lamaze and Hickstead


also earned an individual bronze medal at the 2010 World Championships in Lexington, Kentucky, where Hickstead was awarded the title of “Best Horse.” They won team silver and individual bronze medals at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as several major grand prix show jumping titles including Calgary, Canada (2007 and 2011); Geneva, Switzerland (2008); Aachen, Germany (2010); La Baule, France (2011); and Rome, Italy (2011). “I believe this is the great-


est honour you can receive from your country,” said Lamaze, 53. “Hickstead was in- credible, simply one of a kind. Together, we were proud to rep- resent Canada on the world stage. It is well deserved on his part; I just went along for the ride.”

Due to the COVID-19 global


pandemic, the Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony, tradi- tionally held each October in Toronto, ON, was held virtually for the first time. Hosted by Sportsnet’s Ron MacLean and Tara Slone, the ceremony also featured a musical performance by Jim Cuddy, best known for his work with Blue Rodeo. In addition to being inducted


into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2020/21, Lamaze received the Order of Sport, Canada’s highest sporting honour. The Order of Sport was presented to Lamaze while he was competing at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, AB, in September. It was a fitting venue for the presentation, given that a life- size bronze statue of Hickstead overlooks the Spruce Meadows Plaza.


Hickstead (Hamlet – Jomara x


Ekstein) was bred in The Nether- lands by Jan van Schijndel and born on March 2, 1996. Lamaze pur- chased the Dutch Warmblood stal- lion in 2004 through Stephex Stables in Belgium and owned him


in partnership with John Fleis- chhacker’s Ashland Stables of the United States. Prior to his tragic death during competition in Italy in 2011, Hickstead had earned more than $3 million in prize money dur- ing his career with Lamaze. Lamaze has competed in three


consecutive Olympic Games – 2008 Beijing, China; 2012 London, Eng- land; and 2016 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In addition to the individual gold and team silver medals won with Hickstead in Beijing, Lamaze won an individual bronze medal partnered with Fine Lady 5 at the 2016 Olympic Games. He owns and operates Torrey Pines Stable, a show jumping training and sales business with bases in Wellington, Florida, and Brussels, Belgium, where he trains many students from various nationalities at the elite level.
