Dressage mothers
Dressage mothers
In contrast to Dressage Fathers , Dressage Mothers are the most noticeable obvious characters of the dressage scene, in matter of fact in some circumstances they are the only noticeable obvious characters around the dressage arena.
Dressage Mothers come in all shapes, sizes and colours, they come from any walks of life or social background the variety is endless apart from one common thing to all Dressage mothers its the sound of their voice dishing out orders TO EVERY ONE “ Do this , fetch that , lift his head, go faster , not so much “ even the hired Top Trainer of the week gets specific instructions of WHAT and HOW to tell little Junior Diva what she needs to know .
Dressage Mothers must not be confused with Dressage Wives ,the two kinds differ in character , roll, attitude and numbers .. For nearly every competitor under the age of 53 there is a dressage mother , simply due to natural biological reasons effecting the dressage world there are very few Dressage Wives around.
While for Dressage Mother little Junior Diva cant do wrong for a Dressage Wife her husband cant do wright , in the history of dressage never a Dressage Mother is Known to agree with the judges scores even if little princess won the class it was not with a high enough scores , on the other hand a Dressage Wife is always on the judges side how ever humiliating the scores are.
No one can deny the important significant roll that women has in the dressage world. British Dressage is chaired by a woman and been so for years. In the last European dressage championship the whole German team and the trainer were all representing the opposite sex , so the Dutch team and no one will mistake the current number one dressage rider in the world to anything but a woman (and a pretty one in that).
In spite of all this it is a bitter pill for most Dressage Husbands to swallow when their young offspring reminds them at every opportunity that “Mummy does it differently” or “Mummy said not to do it like you do it “ etc. etc. etc.
In reality there are only few conversations with one children that don't start and ends with “BUT MUMMY ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,”.
The whole situation became so frustrating to one Dressage Husband that he gave up any involvement with his 4 year old just off the leading rein Dressage Prince sporting pursuits apart from weekly swimming sessions.
During one of these weekly visits to the pool father and boy were in the men changing rooms having a shower when the little boy lost his balance and was about to fall, at the last moment he managed to grab hold his fathers p,,,,s and regained his balance.
The father with a big smile turned to the child and said “Lucky for you son that you have been showering with me and not with your mother”
“Why is that dad ?” the child asked
“Because son!! if you were showering with your mother you would have fallen flat on your face “ was the father reply.
