I believe that the “Katie” Nick is threatening to sue has posted on his facebook page with regard to the non-article in Dressage Today.
For posterity’s sake
For posterity’s sake I just wanted to post something on this epic thread. So here we are.

Please, please let Richard Simmons make an exercise video for all of us aspiring to hump up the levels- “Humpin’ to the Oldies”[/QUOTE]
I thought that too! Whatever happened to Richard Simmons, I wonder…
There once was a man named Peronace
Who humped his horse into a dance
He called it “piaffe” which made people laugh
Since it looked more like horsey romance.

Ok, ok, this did it.
I’d been reading but trying to sit on my hands. This however was more than I could handle.
Seriously though, how can one be so delusional?!
The video reminded me of when I teach the wee kids… one of the 5 year olds will sometimes do this little scoot/hop in the saddle to try and will the horse to move…

I have one of those too. Maybe I shouldn’t have told her not to do that…she might have gotten my ancient lesson horse to piaffe! Who knew?
That must be one of his super-special methods used only for teaching the non-warmblood…
Dies anyone else find it odd that “Kelly” refers to him by only his last name? If I have a trainer I like and respect, I’m going to refer to them in public as “Mr. Trainer” or “Ms Trainer,” not just, “You just don’t understand Trainer’s method, you uneducated slob…” Most riders refer to their trainers as “Mr.” or “Ms.” or by their first name. That struck me as odd…
So, note to “Kelly:” if you’re going to play the houseguest, at least do a better job of it…

Usually accompanied with a frustrated squeal, “Why won’t he just GOOOOOOOOO?!?!”
I was reminded of the same thing when I watched his video.
Oh, thank you, Mod(S) for reopening this priceless trainwre…uh, thread.
I do hope Nicky and Kelly come out to play.
50$, anyone else wanna go in?
OK I’m good for 50$ via paypal for the person who posts here the first video of the master or maestro at a clinic. Anyone else want to sweeten the pot?
Yes. It takes half the time to train a Non-Warmblood than it does a Warmblood [ducking and running]
I’d LOVE to attend one of his clinics, but someone would have to cover the cost of my airfare. Would gladly audit and report back with videos.

That might get Mr. Peronace to post a video.
A Holiday Ode To The Maestro
Twas a week after Christmas and all through the 'net
Was talk of a trainer, as bad as they get
His video horrid, that poor Peronace
His art not good, he’s no Liberace
But his mouth was big, his words all lies
Of greatness, of skill, all stumbling tries
Because the one thing this schlep didn’t know
Is how far horsewomen are willing to go
They don’t like liars who make false claims
They’ll check out the facts, these curious dames
So I’ll tell you Nick just give up the fight
You reek of fraud, you’re just not quite right
Might I suggest you go back to school
So you no longer write like some blubbering fool
And take a trip to a trainer near you
They just might teach you a thing or two
And remember always when you tug at that bit
That’s a thing you do when you ride like chit.

If it weren’t so cold where you are, we warmbloods would come over and piaffe around your house. (Remember: Don’t eat yellow snow!)

I think this requires a bad photoshop of Richard Simmons on Valegro as the album cover.

HTG, I swear I didn’t think COTHy poetry could top pAin’t_Misbehavin’s rooster poem. I was wrong and ^^^ is the definition of EPIC. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
And for reference, here’s the ode to the roo from Racetrack Reject’s sig line:
Rhode Islands are red;
North Hollands are blue.
Sorry my thoroughbreds
Stomped on your roo.
