Who you are
One of the nicest out come from the recent successes of our dressage riders is the general acceptances by the media and public that dressage riders are not just wealthy toffee nosed individuals but actually real athletes.
Our top riders clearly demonstrated that dressage is a demanding sport requiring fit body and mind , a lot of hard work , talent and dedication.
With this appreciation many new opportunities opened to our riders , one of them is media talk shows and TV games, suddenly every presenter MUST HAVE a dressage rider included IN THEIR POPULAR PRESENTATION.
During the latest “ SPORTSMAN only KISS and TELL “ show , the panel consisted of representatives from different sporting disciplines to mention few ; swimming ,rugby , gymnastics and Dressage .
The presenter opened the show by explaining that he will introduce the contestants by presenting each one of them with two photographs for the contestants to choose the one most representative of their character personality and the public perception of their sport.
The first one to be presented was the Rugby player , he had to choose between a photographs of a 450 horse power Volvo racing truck and a Robyn Reliant 3 wheeler -- what a choice .
The presenter asked “and this is your final answer ?”
“YES IT IS “ was the reply .
“You are a man of POWER and STRENGTH and so your sport “ were the presenter’s words.
And so the introduction continued from one candidate to the next until it was our dressage rider turn .
The game master raised two pictures in his right he had a picture of Rooster and in his left a feline cat and he said “From the animal world which one of these two is the closest to your image of yourself? the athletic supple mysterious feline or the brilliance assurance of the Rooster??.
Without hesitation the reply of the dressage rider was “the ROOSTER”
“One more time which one of these is the most indicative of your personality?” the game master asked again .
“THE ROOOOSTER “ came the reply .
“WELL” said the game master “it is clear that you are a COCK man and not a PUSSY man , LETS THE GAME BEGIN!!!”
