Flossy is well known to many on the British Dressage Forum as a teller of interesting stories and perhaps the odd joke or two. We have selected a few tales for your pleasure.

Divas and Trainer

The national   Dressage Federation   had a surprise  for   its members  , for  one of the high performance prestigious clinics a new  Trainer was invited . it was   a tall blond ever so good  looking  Scandinavian  type  instructor, the anticipation  for the arrival of this eye candy individual  had the same effect  over the local  Dressage  Divas    as Justine  Bieber     or Harry  styles  have over a whole lot of teenager girls in a pop concert.
The demand to participate in his clinics  was so large that most lessens were   shared group ones.
One of the sessions  happened  to consist of  Divas only  , due to obvious reasons  the  quality of dressage  displayed by the participants was not of a very high standard , any attempt of  the,  tall blond ever so good  looking  Scandinavian  type , instructor  to get any of the students  to preform  a credible centre line resulted in  15 versions of this geometrically  basic movement .
The  federations high performance manager  standing by the ,tall blond ever so good  looking  Scandinavian  type,  instructor   in an  embarrassed voice asked “what do you think  what are you going to say  or do?” to which  the reply was well its irrelevant  what I  think  do  or say    I am a dressage trainer  giving a clinic  I  never  say what I think   or  do what I say”  . Some time later , the tall blond ever so good  looking  Scandinavian  type , instructor  instigated the penalty  clause , for every non centre centre line , the offending Diva would remove an article of closing , hard hats and spurs  exempt.
This move high lighted another 27 versions of possible interpretations of what a centre line is , with most of the ladies partaking revealing more and more exposed  body parts.
At   one  point the ,tall blond ever so good  looking  Scandinavian  type,  instructors  stopped the  session and addressed the   Dressage  Divas  “Ladies  I have the impression that most of you are not  here for the DRESSAGE  “
The high performance  manager   by  the  side of the,   tall blond ever so good  looking  Scandinavian  type,  instructor  turned to him and said  "Yoooooou should be hung.".
The,  tall blond ever so good  looking  Scandinavian  type , instructor  lifted   his  darkened Ray Ban Sunglasses and stared directly   at the performance manager  and calmly replied   “I am !!  that why they ride like this”
