Ok….I seem to recall NP getting his knickers in a knot over the real photographer that “stole” his image at the horse show.
Seriously Nick…that is “pre-Madonna hypocrisy” at its best

How long before he reads this and edits his FB comment?
Because we know you read us, Nick.

What does Madonna’s opening act have to do with showing horses, Nick?

They were contemporaries.
I think pre-Madonna must be, what…Blondie?
It’s amazing to me that he could even come up with pre-Madonna. What on earth did he think it meant? Not that you need to know what prima donna means off the top of your head, but why would you type something that you have no idea what it means? It’s just bizarre. So very bizarre.

Maybe he thought that all women prior to the Virgin Mary acted like prima donnas.

I’ll admit, I thought the saying was “Pre-Madonna” at one point in my life…when I was like, 10. No excuses, Nick!

Maybe he meant Prix Madonna.
That would technically mean a large prize for Madonna. I think she has had her fair share.
But for Nick, that would likely mean an attempt to pass off a movement at FEI but really missing the mark. As in, my horse likes to passage when excited, but with his head up and not through the back. He’s such a Prix Madonna sometimes!
Or as it applies to people: When it is cold outside, I like to drink hot chocolate. I’m such a Prix Madonna.

Or, if you were an old friend of mine who lived to tease me about dressage… Prix Madonna would be Pricks Madonna.
You know, like riding a Pricks Street Gorgeous (Prix St. Georges) dressage test… as he referred to it.

It speaks to not being well read.
And I’m not talking slumpy sales of his two books.
