He represented Canada in 10 Nations Cup classes.  His many international wins include the 2008 Olympic individual gold and team silver medalist, the 2007 $1 million CN International at Spruce Meadows and  team silver and individual bronze at the 2007 Pan American Games. Hickstead also won the $100,000 CN World Cup Grand Prix in Toronto in November, and the €175,000 Rolex World Cup Grand Prix in Geneva in December.

Hickstead is a small stallion with a huge work ethic. He combines  scope, power, technique, intelligence and temperment. Into a triple, this horse have to be hold back rather than push forward and he jumped just as enthusiastically after a three day show as the first day.
