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.

A unfair advantage

A friend of mine applied for a job as rider at top German stable.  The other applicant was a well-endowed English lady (if you can call her a lady) who had often been seen in BD circles.  The interview started with both applicants being asked to ride a GP horse.

The English lady went first and things were looking hopeful for my friend until she started to prepare for the piaffe.  She began to arrange herself like only women do, circling the shoulders up and down, snapping the bra straps into place, arranging her begonias with one hand and then the other while making it clear that she was not wearing a sports bra. 
 
The owner of the stable watched intently, no doubt appreciating how the horse did not miss a step in piaffe but, from the changing shape of his breeches, it was clear that she had the job in her lap. 
 
He turned to my friend and asked, "Vell, can ze do better van her?"
 
"Get the horse out of the arena, shut the door so the kids can’t see and I will show you", replied my friend.
 
HE DIDN’T GET THE JOB!
