Eric Lamaze was very successful as a junior and hunter rider, working with a number of top trainers including George Morris, Roger Deslauriers, Hugh Graham and Jay Hayes. His own natural eye for distance has made him very effective since entering the grand prix ring in 1992. Just one year later, he was named to the Canadian Equestrian Team. Eric has since represented Canada at four consecutive World Equestrian Games - 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006, as well as at three Pan American Games including in 1999 where he earned a Team Bronze Medal and at the 2007 Pan Ams where he won Team Silver and Individual Bronze. However, it was in his Olympic debut in 2008 where won the Individual Gold Medal riding the great Hickstead and helped Canada capture the Team Silver. These remarkable achievements represent the greatest success ever of the Canadian Equestrian Team at the Olympic Games.
With Hickstead, a stallion small in stature but huge in heart, Eric has won countless grand prix events in some of the most impressive show jumping venues in the world. At the 2007 Spruce Meadows “Masters” Tournament, Eric and Hickstead won the $1 million CN International, the richest grand prix event in the world.
Lamaze owns Torrey Pines Stables in Schomberg, Ontario, where he operates a large horse training business and also coaches numerous show jumping athletes. In his spare time, Lamaze enjoys playing tennis and squash.
