Holy fruitbat.
Someone also debunked his award on FB…they contacted the Italian community or whoever he supposedly got it from…and it was all a lie and made up.

Thanks to the OP for a calm, firsthand account of Mr. Peronace’s attitude and “skill”.
How did the 6 year old mare “test” him - just the usual green horse feeling out a different rider thing?[/QUOTE]
The 6 yr old mare gave him the “gimme what you got…Ooooo…you ain’t got nothing, I’m not going” He was equipped with spurs and a whip at that point.
This man appears to be dangerously delusional. He seems actually not to be able to perceive his own shortcomings or to recognize that he is lying.
As a former police officer, I have some serious concerns about him [edit] and recommend that you ALL stay far away from him.
OP, were you able to find out if you have any legal authority in regards to him using your photos? Did he remove them on his own?

A Google search will provide the actual community he’s “watching”. You should try to contact the local police (or whoever oversees those groups) with your concerns.

The truth is so important! Thank you, OP, for relaying your experience. Posts like this are the only way people will learn the truth. It’s good that nothing more happened than the 6-year old just wouldn’t walk out of the corner… She could have been openly “labeled” as untrained/dangerous/“nuts”/“ruined by previous training”, etc. on a certain facebook page…[/QUOTE]
I’m sure that will be next…Once someone puts that idea in his head, he will say it was “her fault”
I agree…OP I would keep an eye out. [edit] I guess he can’t come back now and say none of us have seen him ride etc.

I do have legal authority if he is posting that he “rides” here or is permitted to bring horses here to train. He has since to the best of my knowledge (I am blocked from his page) removed my photos on his own and I have people who will continue to monitor this.
It’s what those in the biz refer to as “narcissistic rage”.
[QUOTE=GoldenGaitFarm;7361437]
Although I would love to see someone post the thread in his closed group, this guy shows signs of severe anger issues and becomes hostile to anyone who doesn’t “agree” with him. [edit] He personally scares me! This is his reply to all of us:
"Do you critics not see how light I get the horses I train? Do you critics not read me saying that I will give a free clinic to show I’m no fake? Haven’t I openly said I would answer any question? Haven’t I been honest about my credentials REPEATEDLY? Haven’t I done my best in proving any claim I have ever made? What more can I do for you critics? I don’t mind if someone doesn’t appreciate my artistic abilities, but when you start calling me a fake or a fraud or have me confused with someone else that happens to have my name that’s just completely uncalled for! I am certainly no trick rider, and I TRAIN every horse I sit on! -Nick Peronace[/QUOTE]
OK, every ride is a “training ride”. I too could get on a horse and through ignorance and incompetence “train” all kinds of bad habits into said horse.
I don’t really think he’s an “intentional” fraud; he’s flat-out delusional which IMO is more indicative of a dangerous personality. I think he really believes he’s this great rider and super-talented and knowledgeable horse trainer.
[QUOTE=alibi_18;7361305]
Maybe we could.
Which pictures?[/QUOTE]
I do believe he has removed them on his own…I was not able to report them because he had blocked me from his page after I posted a comment under each photo (approx 6) to remove them immediately. He deleted my posts and left the photos for an additional week until I sent him emails and texts that I was contacting my attorney. Thanks for your offer to help, it’s greatly appreciated. 
I love mares…
I also think he actually believes what he says…

Yup it is. Scary guy…:eek:

OP, I saw your posts on facebook and had to go look up your farm. You have a lovely place![/QUOTE]
Thank you!
Holy crap! Golden Gait farm is lovely!
Hey, he may just tell you you owe him for all the website clicks he got you!
GoldenGait quote did put him on a young horse (6) who tested him, and he failed. He actually could not get the horse to walk around the indoor and I had to “rescue” him in the corner.

Maybe he was trying to get her to piaffe? WALL…WHIP…SPURS… :eek:

That mare had him figured out pretty quickly… seat, legs, reins of silk, spurs & a whip and still no forward, supple movement with cadence from this paragon of Grand Prix Haute Ecole horsemanship? snort
I like how he is falling back on how his attorney is drawing up papers. If he even has an attorney, that legal mind should advise him to STFU…

Were your photos the ones captioned “the beautiful farm I rode at today”? Indeed it is a beautiful facility. Your mare is a sharp cookie!
