It’s already been 6yrs? Time flies!
Seems like yesterday!
So, when he says everyone on the Chronicle forums rides “like donkey balls”, is that meant to be an insult? Because when the contextually salient contrast is riding like Nick Peronace, donkey balls isn’t obviously the worse alternative.
6 years. That’s usually enough time for even the most childish thirty-somethings to grow the heck up and move on from their bad decisions. But alas, he’s still hanging around under alters, and still at a “donkey balls” and make-believe level of maturity.
That photo about subscribers to DH wasn’t sent to him. He took it from the personal page of the creator for his own purposes. Her caption and reason for posting differs greatly from his and COTH isn’t mentioned at all. Also funny that he doesn’t go on COTH, doesn’t want to hear about it from his subscribers or have them defend him here, yet knows to delete things on his page because people on here are looking at the fodder he’s posted. His buddy with the fake profile is also on COTH watching the action, as she claims we’re all talking in circles here.
If Laura Harrison isn’t NPee himself, I’ll eat my saddle.
Thank you kellydressage for telling people about this video on Nick’s web site.
Go to youtube and search for this --------> Nick’s funky chicken piaffe
The infamous chimpanzee humping the saddle video! I forgot how funny it was…except for the poor horse. I feel bad for him since he’s clearly uncomfortable and dying to ditch the monkey on his back.
For all those who ever wondered, that video is the “proof” NP presents of his amazing skills at teaching Grand Prix dressage to “none warmbloods.”
Are you sure you you don’t want to take a lesson with him? :lol:
It’s worse than I remembered. How is that possible?
I guess that’s one way to teach your horse Airs Above the Ground… yikes!
He could be progressing nicely if he’d started lessons six years ago…but no.
Because the sheer awfulness had kind of subsided in your mind.
I’ve never seen anyone who actually studies dressage seriously praise his riding, not counting the Betsy Steiner “light hands” compliment he was asked to remove by Betsy herself as it was fake news. No one has ever complimented his riding other than “nice mare” or “smooth ride” or “not awful for a training level ride” (other than suspiciously new accounts who phrase and spell words remarkably similar to himself), much less analyze any of his videos or photos with any semblance of knowledge.
It blows my mind. Wouldn’t even the most staunchly confident rider go “hmmm”? Versus labeling anyone who isn’t a gushing know-nothing loser, including 2 well-respected “S” judges and all of CoTH? The delusion is bottomless.
Hypocricy thy name is Nick. He is mad COTH members “talk trash about a trainer who they never worked with”. Didn’t he just do that? Worse yet he falsely claimed he took a lesson with her?
Is he really worth giving this attention to? He clearly thrives on it. He’s never going to change. Drama is what he wants. Even notoriety is “relevance” to him.
Heck yeah! Exposing his latest fake profile trashing a respected professional he’s never met because she once 3 yrs ago asked him on FB when his book was coming out is worth it to me. Especially since we finally got to see some of that infamous 43 ride he has spun for so long. Before he deleted it, that video got almost 400 views. Anyone still giving his riding the benefit of the doubt had their eyes opened after seeing that mess and the hate- and conspiracy-filled vitriol he accompanied it with. Hopefully he will retreat from the horse world and CoTH again, maybe even for good this time.
Look, the guy comports himself like an @ss online. Nobody worth their salt thinks he’s qualified. 90% of noobs would run screaming just due to his unprofessionalism (without even getting to an assessment if his training/riding skills). The remaining 10% will already find plenty when they google his name. He came on here asking for DAD videos. There’s nothing nefarious about that. He’s dumb if he thinks people won’t see right past his alters, but what he did on here was ask for videos. If he’s off being a jerk on FB… take him to task on FB.
I’m no fan of his, for many reasons, but it does strike me as pretty bitchy the way some people like to go after him on THIS BB when he’s not doing anything objectionable on this BB. No dispute he’s done some nutty things here in the past, and maybe he’s doing them on FB now, I don’t know-- but the mentality to trash the guy if he shows his face here, even when he’s not doing anything objectionable here-- reflects poorly on the people who get such a kick out of trashing him. The guy is clearly not 100% and I too would hate to see an unsuspecting person get roped in-- but we all know that is NOT why some people are going after him on this thread. To some people, it’s just a game.
I mean, raking him over the coals again for a video that’s years old? About a horse he’s since sold? About his dumb clinic years ago? I mean, is that really an adult way to behave? Let’s be real, that has NOTHING to do with warning people so they don’t get duped. It’s just making fun of the guy. And yeah, he’s hardly sympathetic-- but the guy isn’t doing anything HERE to warrant that sort of treatment here. You’ll never let him live down that he’s an @ss and can’t ride. We get it. But give it a rest.
I’m confused…he made up the story about the lesson and trashed the trainer here, on the BB, under this new alias, didn’t he?
Not on this thread, not that I’ve seen anyway. Maybe take up that issue in the thread where he did it?
I just find the glee with which some people go after him for REALLY OLD STUFF pretty bitchy. He is nobody. All he HAS to get attention is sh*t stirring. Why not just leave him alone?
The old stuff comes up because he does something new but it is more of the same cloth of the old stuff. Retread.
Old dog, old tricks.
That he started several threads, of the same garbage he’s done before…
with the added bonus of made up garbage about a real professional trainer whom he named in the lie he told about her…,
…and one of those became where they all got discussed, that’s being efficient.
Would you really rather each of his alters recent threads get bumped?
And bumped?
And bumped?
Really?
I think I’ve been pretty darn clear that the best way to deal with this guy is to ignore him, because he loves the attention (even negative attention).
Dear lord thank you. We all love a good train wreck but the obsession with this guy is unreal. If people spent this much time on real issues (not non-issues like NP) in the horse industry we’d fix a lot of our problems.
