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.

Ill fitting saddle

“There  is nothing wrong with this saddle”  the saddle fitter said  for the umpteen times .
“THIS SADDLE IS NOT RIGHT  LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER “  the Dressage Diva replied for the  umpteen times .
The saddle fitter got up on his little stool  lowered his face  as close as possible   to the saddle  examined it from all angles and said  “There  is nothing wrong with this saddle, it fits the horse perfectly “
“THIS SADDLE IS NOT RIGHT  LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER “  the Dressage Diva replied.
The saddle fitter got as close as it is  physically  possible  to the saddle,  his chin practically touching the leather seat and in a tone of voice that expressed all the frustration of a man  facing the  the illogical logic  of a female Dressage Diva he replied  “Madam  if I  got any closer to this saddle IT WILL RUB MY SKIN  RAW”.
“YOU SEE  I TOLD YOU THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS SADDLE”  The Dressage Diva  said   “AND I WAS ONLY SITTING ON IT”
