Team GBR

Mistral Hojris would rather be known as Alf and has been ridden by Laura Bechtolsheimer for the last 4 years. She describes him as being "like the BFG!" and adds that, "he’s got a big heart, is cuddly and scared of rabbits!"

Laura claims one of her favourite things about him is the way he moves, "he prowls like a cat and is very expressive. "However, she's not so keen on his clumsy tendencies!"

'Alf' as he is known was selected for his first Olympic appearance at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games where he achieved over 70% in his first test.
