About this video
Here is the finished ‘item’! Laura and her top ride, Olympic partner Mistral Hojris (Alf), have a lesson with Klaus Balkenhol who has come over from Germany to train her. The lesson is translated by Dr Bechtolsheimer, Laura's usual trainer. Alf knows all the moves and he gives what’s asked of him willingly, so Laura doesn’t spend too much time on any one thing. Instead the emphasis is on self-carriage, suppleness, expression and variety. Sit back and enjoy this. Laura and Alf are poetry to watch!

Lallanslover 7 May 2009 What a treat to be able to watch a private lesson between such talented individuals (trainer, rider, and horse!). Thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity, it is very much appreciated.
Daianira Mirage LaCrosse 1 Mar 2009 Alf (Mistral Hojris) is a beautiful horse who has the unique talent to collect and shorten his frame and to extend and lengthen his frame. Alf, however, should not be given all the credit; in my opinion, it has been Laura's patient and tactful riding that has allowed this horse's talent to shine. I commend Laura for her accomplishments.
Elliott65 17 Feb 2009 I love watching Laura ride. It has helped me with my dressage because I have started to do dressage and your a great person to be looking up at. I also adore Alf and his fab' paces!
Carl 7 Feb 2009 Slowing down and collecting before the corner has worked very well for me today! I have a little bit more time to correct my aids for cornering and I can ride him a bit deeper into the corner. Great great great! Thanks a lot for getting these videos online!
Laura Bechtolsheimer 7 Feb 2009 My dad has been granted the occasional ride, such as a hack when I am not there! Klaus has not sat on him so far, really its only me that trains Alf and when I am away Carl or one of the girls from the yard will exercise him a little, long and low. He is my baby and I am very protective! Although it would be fascinating to see Klaus on him, so far it has not been necessary...
