This thread has likely provided lots of information for those interested in this business/trainer, but as the clock ticks down to midnight and 2014, it’s probably best to put this kid to bed early…
Have a safe night, to those venturing out!

Well…I saw this man’s video of a piaffe, and all I have to say it, the rider should never be doing more ‘piaffe’ than the horse.
I piaffed in my pants a little.

Any word from Dressage Today?
I can only see bits of the Facebook page, I suppose because I am not a Facebook member, but he is claiming that someone “hacked” his account to get the “piaffe” video.
Holy hell they unlocked it! Way to go mods!
I asked, politely…
He has updated his facebook with a threat to sue someone named Katie. He also does not understand locked threads since he apparently tried to post but couldn’t get on. He took it as him personally being blocked by trolls.
Thank you mods for unlocking!
Nick: Could you post the dates and locations of your 2014 clinics? Here or on your facebook page?
The question has been answered ! Dressage Today doesn’t know him either.

Thank you COTHers for caring about the people who could have been taken for a financial ride by Mr. Nick Peronace.
I’ve got bloody mary mix (with old bay of course!) and some popcorn - who’s with me?
Who the heck is Katie anyway? I saw on his FB that he is out for blood from that person. This is awesome.
I can’t see the facebook, but he won’t get very far in trying to blame someone else for his false claims or for exposing them.
Jeez, just when i thought I’d be getting some work done today.
Now if the H/J trainer post that poofed would come back I can enjoy my -30 day here at work.

I am posting this here because it deeply concerns me how the evil of a misinformed jealous idiot, could affect my reputation. Of course Im going to sue Katie, but I wanted to show this prestigious award I received for helping my community. …The awful for rumors that she is spreading is nothing but links to half truths. I have, and will always be active in my community and helping charity. I resent Katie trying to paint me out to be something sinister when she in fact is the evil! I let my award for helping my community speak for itself, as I do with the photographs of my riding. Once again, should anyone have any questions, please don’t hesitate to inbox me. I will be happy to show you the truth in Katies twisted lies. And, in case you are wondering why I received this prestigious award for helping my community, here is why:
- organized a Philadelphia town watch that help in the arrest of 6 gang members
-Raised money by hosting a charity fundraiser for a local hospital
-
volunteers for Greenpeace helping the environment
-
Feeds the homeless every year at his church out of his own pocket
-
gathered supply donations to help therapeutic riding
I am literally a pillar in my community, and it is the evil work of the devil to think otherwise, and it is for that very reason I am going to teach Katie a hard lesson about trying to assassinate someone’s character without knowing all the facts.
KATIE, CHECK YOUR MAILBOX DAILY, YOU ARE ABOUT TO GET SERVERD!!!See More
Also, there is an unflattering video of me teaching me horse my horse Piaffe for the very first time. I was only 17 in that video and this was literally the first time I ever attempted Piaffe not just with THAT HORSE, but AT ALL! I had NO instruction I had no one on the ground training me at this point and I was self-taught. What the critics should do is look at the photographs of the finished pro…duct and how light and forward and engaged he is. By experimenting and trial and error I TRAINED CHEVY to not just Grand Prix level, but Airs Above Ground as well. Furthermore, if the critics liked looking at videos why not upload the other videos of me riding other horses? The same way you dug up that video you can dig up video of me riding other Grand Prix horses, and just any horse in general. I did NOT release that training video to the public because it’s an incomplete identification of my abilities, but if you critics are going to somehow hack into my Facebook and pull out videos please pull out the positive stuff also!!!
Ooooh you evil people !
His FB page is kind of a gong show. How anyone can ride with someone who is so unprofessional and immature is beyond me.
So glad this thread opened up again! I asked my SO if he knew of this guy as he is only a bit older than we are and my SO used to compete in dressage in the same area. I showed him the website and low and behold he does remember him - competed in the same shows a few times. He remembers Nick as a mediocre rider with a huge ego, who was also a complete jerk. Sounds like nothing has really changed in the last 10 to 15 years lol 
Glad COTHers have exposed this guy and hopefully saved people from being sucked into his “training program”
For a guy of his age, he has a curious lack of internet savvy, or maybe he only pleads ignorance when asked to post updated photos or videos. Maybe he should ask alibi_18 to do some photoshopping for him. http://s1161.photobucket.com/user/alibi_18/media/Toto%20and%20Me/TotoandMe_zps6720b8be.jpg.html

Great stuff !!
"You know what would be ideal? If I could find like a hunter that does easy quick changes that is alittle older so his muscles are also developed, say around 10yr. All Id have to do is polish a bit and teach lateral movements and go right into a Third Level test at a show. Doesnt take long really. Then over the winter I can work on perfecting the collection, and develop the right muscles while teaching Tempi Changes, and by spring again compete 4th level Prix St. George.
That could be the game plan anyway lol!! "
Boy - is he going to show y’all !
Uh oh, poor Katie. She’s going to be serverd. Does that mean she’s going to be cut in half or have her computer hacked? By a pillar, no less.

I loved the Gong Show- Chuck Barris, The Unknown Comic, Gene Gene the Dancing Machine… but alas, his FB cannot hold a candle to these comic legends. But I better clam up before I get severed/served.
