Mistral Hojris — Alf, the love of my life! I got him when he was small tour but with a very bad reputation for being dangerous. He was never dangerous on purpose though! He just had a serious flight instinct and was extremely hot. I knew as soon as I rode him that he was the one for me, even though maybe nobody else would have thoughts so. I rode him in the YR Euros the year after Dougie and again we got team bronze and I came fifth. We were asked to leave the prize giving! I was young and in no hurry as I had never been at the top before so Alf and I took our time to grow as a partnership which is exactly what this misunderstood ginger giant needed.. Beijing he was still unpredictable and spooky but come 2009 onwards he was one of the most consistent horses in the top 5 and medaled team and individually at every championship from 2009 onwards till he retired. He is now fat and hairy enjoying the field her shares with Andretti
