Thing is, I don’t believe the threat of a mob of guys is anything but pathetic bluster.

Do you really want to chance it?

Not that anyone wants to find themselves in any situation that puts Nick at their front door, with or without a posse, but methinks he underestimates the COTH Bathrobe Battalion.
I can tell you it wouldn’t end well for him here.

Nick: You are WRONG! It is not up to us to prove our perceptions of you.
It is up to YOU to prove you are competent and qualified, and that is something YOU have failed to do.

No, and I wouldn’t even want him to have my email address. He really tries to get people to email him or send photos. Nope, not happening.

I posted this link earlier in the thread. It is an example of Mr.Peronace’s desperate attempts to get people to give him their email address and photos. He begins posting at post # 464

Personally, I can’t wait for his series of history books: The Real History of 'Murica, Written for True Patriots.
But earlier, didn’t he promise a sequel to Behind the Bit?
Oh, the Maestro! He’s such a literary force!

I have finished this magnum opus.
Will the next eager reader PM me with an address so I can pass the wisdom along?
Summary:
Maestro hooks up with a new barn.
The people are friendly and welcoming.
Maestro demonstrates his superior talent in dressage/training.
People are insanely jealous.
They conspire to make him look bad.
He is ordered to leave/he leaves because it is unbearable.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

… and his new website enables you to order an autographed copy of his book with a personalised message, sent to your address, for $19.95. I wonder what kind of personalised message he will pen inside the book? “Let me know if you want a free lesson, I’m the Maestro, thanks for your money.”

…and a request to stop talking about him which is the opposite of what he truly wants. It is obvious that he wants the conversation to continue.

His own comments show just how ignorant he is about dressage. A sqare halt is expected at training level. Never mind first. Imagine calling judging unfair because they judged his unsqare halt as wanting at fourth level. His horse came above the bit and he was marked down. That’s what yhe judging is for! Horses aren’t supposed to come above the bit! And CERTAINLY not at third or fourth level! What does he think, it’s all about performing a movement? Doesn’t matter the quality? There’s some incredible stupidity on display. Imagine telling g on yourself for your inability to ride like that.

In reading that old thread I have to wonder…if someone did ride with him and still not like his methods are then allowed to say how much they do not like him or will some new thing be tossed out as a reason why he is right and they are wrong?

This is beautiful. It is almost a free-form octave.

The reason would then be that the rider didn’t fully commit to his methods and that Swamptown corrupted the rider into seeing/feeling something different than what the maestro was producing.

Definitely. He’d claim it was all a set-up. A Swamptown conspiracy! 
I love how he claims that he’ll be able to ride any horse 10 times better, and that’s why no one asks him to come give a clinic.
Really? He persists in going there? He admits that he hasn’t been on a horse in years, so I’m guessing his ability to access his Reins of Silk (copyright pending) would elude him.

Has anyone ever seen a transcript of the judge’s remarks in his lawsuit?
How expensive are court transcripts, anyway?

Was there a lawsuit involving judges??
Well, that was a trip down memory lane. Had to make a wide detour around a banned poster or two, but it killed an afternoon.
He truly thinks the rules should apply to everyone but him, and is incapable of understanding that life does not generally work that way. Especially horse life. There’s nothing quite like a horse for showing a person’s true character to the world. They’ll tell on you every time.

I believe it was brought to light, by our legal people here, that transcripts are not usually kept in cases such as his suing COTH, so I suppose we’ll never know what was really said. I don’t believe for a minute Nick’s account.

No. Peronace sued COTH and lost. The post was in reference to that civil case.
