Alf's turn. Sorry Ted!

[Auslander]

Ted occasionally has to step aside from the limelight - in favour of the "more precious than diamonds" horse - my lovely Alf. After 5 years of rollercoaster emotions, including a few times when I wondered if I should call it a day for the old man - he appears to have taken on a new lease of life. He's forward, and keen, and sounder than he's ever been. Never going to be 100%, but for a 20 year old, high mileage horse, with lots of issues, I can live with how he's feeling/looking at the moment. A friend came to ride him yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised at how good he felt. There will of course be an outtake video - hes a classic case of "too many buttons" - and cheeky with it!

I just love watching him, even when he's not being all that helpful! He knew she wanted canter, but he wanted to do passage more!

He's in the background of all the videos - I told him the camera was pointed at him, and any Alf presence was accidental!

I adore him! He's so clever, and so funny! He's had a day off today, mostly snoozing in the corner of the school, pulling fearsome faces at Spotty and Ted if they try and wake him up!
