The Maestro has written another book

Honest confusion here. He writes this as though he is currently riding/training. I understood that he doesn’t currently have a horse and has not ridden/trained/showed in many years, is that not correct?

You are correct.

standing right next to the beautiful American flag waving in the wind while my horse just stood there calmly.

I love that he cites this as an accomplishment. Isn’t this something that every high school rodeo and 4-H horse learns to do?

One could argue that he truly never did most of these: ridden/trained/showed

I got blocked by The Rev the other day. He’s over here making lots of noise on FB. A friend (who is FB friends with The Rev) posted a YouTube link to one of Dressage Hub’s shaming videos. I posted that I wouldn’t give DH any clicks, that she was a nasty bully etc…. Up pops the Rev, defending her.

So I wrote that I’d seen his videos he had posted and declined his opinion…. Blocked!

Damnit! And the Sundust video has gone too.

He intentionally deletes Carpathia’s history as an up-down lesson horse, no surprise. He’d rather everyone believe he bought her straight off the track.

Definitely need to get my glasses checked, because the c and the l in clicks were running together and making a d…entirely changed the post.

Yes.

And I’m not sure what being “a former race horse” has to do with anything + a flag.

Well, dontcha know all Thoroughbred racehorses are all hot and ka-razy and flip their lids at unfamiliar things like waving flags? It takes a skilled Maestro to calm these unmanageable beasts!

Maybe she’s just a very patriotic racehorse and would never dream of spooking at an American flag?

[Old_Mac_Donald]

Wouldn’t give her any of those either.

Well everyone knows that the flag drops to start a race! He’s lucky she didn’t run off with him!

He speaks the truth!!

“Am I a master?”

“No! Absolutely not!”

I had a terrible experience with him…totally unprovoked. He seems to love chaos and the attention he gets from it.

[anon38350891]

A link to his Facebook page, Nick Peronace Dressage Supporters (which seems to consist entirely of posts by himself with a few replies), showed up in my FB feed just now as a ‘sponsored post’. Meaning, he paid FB to promote it, probably to horse people. My FB main photo has me and my horse in it.

He is commenting negatively on the Barisone trial verdict, in the sponsored post.

He’s definitely paying for ads.

Looks like it’s resulted in one person engaging with his page so far, which for him is an improvement from the previous zero engagement.

I’m rather ignorant re: the workings of facebook. So how does that work? Because directly on his dressage supporters page he has nothing new, at least that I can see.

But besides that, how is he commenting negatively on the verdict? Because originally he seemed to have some dressagey supportive feelings toward his pal “Mike.” Has he changed his perspective? And is he pontificating said perspective from inside or astride a vehicle of some sort?

[Night_Flight]

The ad is just a preview of that same post about how the Barisone verdict somehow proves that all horsewoman are crazy.

Would love to hear.

[Paint_Party]

Ah, so it’s the post where he says something like, “You can read all about my experiences with meanies and crazies in the dressage world,” and then links to his book. The wrong book.

It’s hard to get engagement when you ban those who do engage, even when they are simply asking questions…
