Did he say so?
Well, maybe they are endorsements?

For what? I could get creative, but the Mods would not appreciate my humor, I am sure…

Well…as I see it, the “endorsements” are in lieu of students and are positioned as proof of his storyline of great accomplishments and countering the disparaging remarks of the bathrobe crowd who refuse on good merit to book him for a free clinic at their expense.
However I think that your creative reasoning would be far more entertaining.

He’s advertising again, but is so phenomenally lazy that he can’t even be bothered to do a copy/paste and post it under today’s date. I guess someone wants a ride on a horsey.

“It’s how I’m able to get so many great reviews from people praising me, saying how I’ve helped them where no other trainer could.”
Nick:
When are any of these people going to set up a clinic for you to show your stuff? Let us know. Perhaps its time to do your cold calling again.
Are you heading to Devon this fall to watch?

Haha. It’s always be in ti re-read that, especially the part about upper level dressage horses being “calm and push button easy.” Thst alone tells you he’s never ridden one.
As to why he would use that horrifying photo of Chevy to promote his “correct” dressage training? Again it tells you he can recognize a horse that is hollowing it’s back, non engaging it’s abs and is muscled all on the wrong side of his neck.
Honestly NP whines about people on COTH bashing him but he is his own worst enemy.

I will forever be fascinated by the fact that Nick believes that those pictures of him opposite pictures of Nuno are mirror images. Other than maybe some horse-and-human body parts being somewhat in the same approximate position… just, no. To me, it’s like comparing a ballet to a potato sack race.

Yep, he’s just reversed each image.

You don’t have to be an experienced horse person to recognize that poor Chevy’s body language can be summed up in three words: “Eff you, Nick!”
A couple of summers riding camp horses is probably sufficient. Or watching Disney animated horse movies.

I am constantly so embarrassed for this guy. Anything I’ve read that he has written makes me want to crawl into a hole and hide.

At frame 1:58 I start seeing some aggressive sawing action.Then he writes a little ditty on Facebook that riders need quiet low hands.

So not how to do it

Oh, you mean the part where the poor horse starts swinging his head side to side like a circus elephant tossing its trunk back and forth?

Great video to find by anyone doing research about whether to take a lesson from Nick. He might be able to dupe a beginner, though.

I believe Nick thinks he has quiet hands because horses duck behind the vertical to avoid his heavy hands, and that leaves a loopy rein and no weight in his hands (which he thinks equates to Nuno’s “reins of silk”).

I couldn’t make it through the whole video. I did peek at some of his other youtube vids. In one he says that the horse is tracking up and explains what he sees. IMO the horse is dragging his hind feet so badly I would call a vet.
