These are two special Horse Heroes for Laura Bechtolsheimer. Douglas Dorsey (Doug) put Laura on the map winning the National Championships and was her first team ride. He has recently retired from competition but has a constant eye on Laura at home. Mistral Hojris (Alf), prefers cuddling to competing and was Laura's Olympic ride in Hong Kong. They also achieved the highest British score in a Grand Prix at Olympia 2007 and came close again in '08. Laura talks to Fiona Price, February '08, before the Olympics.

HorseLover 1 Jun 2009 Both horses look incredible and in excellent condition! You clearly have a very strong bond with all of your horses, both mounted and on the ground.

Doskiltft7 29 Apr 2009 Laura~ I'm not sure if you ever read these comments, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching videos of you and Alf. I have a half-brother to him and with the exception of being bay they are spitting images of each other. By your description it seems as if their personalities are very similar as well. My guy has such a huge heart and even when he is nervous seems to only know the word "yes". Things that I think would blow his mind he takes in stride yet he cowers in the corner of his stall when his water bucket is filled or flares his nostrals and snorts when there are soap bubbles in the wash stall. He is only 7 so watching your videos helps me understand what it should look like and what I should work towards. Thank you for giving so much of your time to this website!
