Pppssssssttttt

I would say he is a back peddle master - but really, he isn’t, his silly explanations for EVERYTHING would fool only the dimmest of people.

I am still waiting to see his “international” teaching schedule. The Maestro is sought after all over the world you know!

Oh, and where, oh where is this barn full of 10+ movers? Does Nick even own a single horse? When was the last time he owned a horse, let alone 10 at once?

That is it. Clearly if this is the extra special training technique I am going to go out and announce I am a trainer too. I know all about side, diagonal, side, diagonal. I can for sure yell out directions to a person going around the ring.[/QUOTE]
CAN’T YOU SEE THAT “THE METHOD” IS TRADEMARKED??? Lawyers will be notified if you use it.

Is that a method in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

“Like” my blog and I’ll tell you.

Oh, I can’t wait for the Maestro to come to NC. I promise to film if it’s a weekend I’m free.

If you have the method and did not gain it via extensive clinic-taking, lawyers will be contacting you, too. I’ll be printing this email out for the lawyers.

…my sides hurt… :lol:

Oh boy!!! Think he’ll ever come up to Canada??? :smiley:

For anyone questioning the ‘don’t cross the reins over the withers’ rule that dressage trainers have been drumming into riders head forever - just google use of indirect rein of opposition behind the withers and it’s use in the half pass. Please, please, please, do not cross the plain of the withers ever, for any reason.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for this. I googled because I was curious what would come up and I found Glenshee Equestrian Centre’s blog. Looks like good reading about theory, and I had never heard of them before…

[QUOTE=PaintedHunter;7391689]
I have typed and deleted a message three times on his Facebook page. i just can’t bring myself to invite the crazy.[/QUOTE]

Did you know that he said he would teach a clinic for free? Anywhere. If someone knows how to go back and find that, please take a screen shot just in case he charges now because he is so famous/infamous.

There’s a lot of good reading on that blog… :slight_smile:

Hey everybody – here are the clinic videos.

Wheee!![/QUOTE]

These ‘‘training’’ videos (half pass and lenthening) just knocked my socks off.

Oh man, the review supposedly written by someone else but coming from NP’s own blog with the same peculiar writing style…it’s just so bizarre. Why does he think no one will notice these things?

And cooking lunch at the clinic? What GP rider teaches a clinic and then also cooks lunch for the participants???

He owns NO horses, and says so right on his Facebook somewhere (or did). He has NO barn, he only used Jentri’s address without her permission. I believe the last horse he owned was the infamous Chevy.

Now. now Chevy poor thing, was only a tool in the hands of his unfamous owner. Poor Chevy just wasn’t smart enough to wave those front feet in the right direction during his levy-aid.

Yes, leafy poor Chevy out of it. Poor horse didn’t get to choose his owner. Not Chevy’s fault what his owner was like & did to Chevy.

Leave it! Crack! You! Woo-eee, CRACK! Leeeeeave IT! HOICK, Ladies!!

LEAVEIT!!!

(Just helpin’ the mods whip off the latest riot . . . ) :rolleyes:

Aaand now he has deleted both my comment and his response.

You had me at HOICK. :slight_smile:

Maybe his logic is as follows: if I have a one-stall barn and one horse that is a 10+ mover, my barn is full of 10+ mover(s). Since I have no barn, no horses = full barn. One stall is to one horse as no stalls is to no horses?
