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.

Its my arse I fell on
Its my arse I fell on
A senior competitor had the misfortune to part company from his horse during a FREE STYLE competition , there he was flat on his back wailing like a staffed pig with his horse performing a true freestyle without hindrance of an old geriatric weight on his back.
The only problem to a scenario like this was that non of these eventualities were covered by the FEI rules.
The judges bewildered as to what was happening, is this a real incident or just a new interpretation to the meaning of “Free style” , is the wailing indication of pain or is it vocal enhancement to the instruments ?, the paramedics dare not entre the arena in case they will be accused for contravening the rules by assisting a rider during a test, the whole show ground at total immobility (eat your heart out Anky).
Suddenly from no where a well known figure of recognised rider entered the arena , offered the prostrated competitor a helping hand , stood him up, offered a cold drink and very gently helped him off the arena.
Late the same evening the Senior competitor approached the one that helped , thanked him and said that he is in his eternal debt and is there any way he can repay that favour this brave helper should just ask.
“Now that you mentioned it” the helping rider said “you can support and vote for me in the election for riders representative on the FEI committee”
There was a moment of silence , the senior Competitor looked deeply in thoughts and then he said “ I would love to oblige but it is my ARSE I FELL ON NOT MY HEAD “
