Am I missing something?

The flexation video can be seen here:
Are we sure he isn’t Sarah Stetner’s dad? The similarities are ridiculous.
So, to recap. Important lessons for people who want to be trainers with no qualifications, who are looking to build a fake reputation:
-
When writing a review of yourself, it is best not to use your own URL in the blog where you do it.
-
When writing a review of yourself, if you mention the online accusations of fraud, make sure your experience dates to after those accusations actually started. If it started in December/January, don’t say you attended a clinic “months ago” because of a contraversy that didn’t yet exist.
-
When writing a review of yourself, don’t claim to have no clue how social media works, then turn around and start a blog. A grandma who can barely handle facebook is unlikely to start a wordpress blog.
-
When writing a review of yourself, have a friend edit it. Or hell, have the friend do it. Because your obvious inability to write coherently creates patterns people will notice.
-
When writing a review of yourself, it might be a better idea to leave comments, or reviews at actual review sites, rather than starting a blog for that purpose.
-
When writing a review of yourself that involves stuff that happened online, it is best to remember that a print publication and its online discussion forum are different things.
-
When writing a review of yourself as a trail riding granny, remember that this is not chronicle’s demographic and this character is unlikely to have a subscription to the magazine to cancel in the first place. Not impossible, but unlikely.
If you keep these guidelines in mind, you too can be a successful grand prix dressage trainer in your own mind.

I had to stop to do a breathing treatment, I laughed so hard. I’ve also started taking notes. When I’m done with it, I will post the index (as someone suggested). Surely, this is one for COTH lore- a post that our children and our children’s children will be referencing for years.[/QUOTE]
Good morning! The really good stuff can be found on the Free Speech Horse Forum. I can’t link to it b/c I’m at work. Just Google FreeSpeechHorseForum. When you get to the website, type in NP’s name in the search box. I believe that it is in the General Discussion sub-forum -OMG it is the best trainwreck ever.
I am tempted to go poke the bear on his Facebook page regarding that blog post. Someone talk me out of it.
If you poke, be sure to warn us so we can watch before he deletes it. 
Also the clinic vids are now up on YouTube for anyone who is dying to watch.
ETA: I might have to go poke, too, because I just found something in the half pass vid that I was taught was totally, utterly, and completely wrong. I had to go without stirrups if I did this thing.
Edited: Was the video of Nick riding Femtio posted before? The other two gave me chillz; I had to mute Nick.

For those of us who are presently shamming at work and unable to access YouTube, please, please, please share the details?

He certainly has skillz…
Sorry I saw a lot of what looked like L/Y.
And him riding HP, I couldn’t figure put how to rotate the picture.
The half-passes look like leg-yielding. The piaffe just looks like he’s holding the horse in while putting on the legs (and I see some, ahem, ‘seat-movement’) and the horse is just doing little jiggity-jog steps.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

No that was just his shoulders dragging his seat outta the saddle. :lol:
Snort! In the H/P I can just hear one of my instructors, BNT and judge, but what does she know, roaring at me. Bend, more bend!!! As for hand over the withers!? Seriously?
It’s pretty bad when a “trainer” is riding a haunches to the wall LY, and selling it as S/I!!!
I suggested on Facebook that his page should be categorized as “Entertainment Website” instead of “Artist” :lol:
Can someone please link here and/or PM me these video links? Alternately, what should I google?
go to YouTube and search Nick Peronace Dressage
I obviously have too much time on my hands today.
Now he rides Jumpers too (well, sort of…)

This from his FB page taken at the IA clinic.

Search youtube for his name.
I will say the grey in the lengthening video looks like a nice guy.
I really didn’t think he’d still be using his real name for this! It’s like a Russian nesting doll of train wrecks.
I do like that grey’s eye, though.
A note on the jumping- those barrels have nothing to keep them from rolling. Maybe I’m a safety loser, but wtf?
His video of “schooling piaffe and half steps” is a whopping 11 seconds long. The humping habit has been toned down.
