The Maestro has written another book

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

But there were good books before Madonna came along.

If anyone needs a good read, there’s always this:

But... You're a Horse

So does the Maestro’s chronology mean we are now in the Lady GaGa era of dressage?

Well I’m always on the Edge of Glory, but this damn fluffy bathrobe gets me marked down. If you think riding an off breed brings bias, just try riding off clothing, no not clothing off, off clothing, they have a collective meltdown. We should be able to wear what we want…it’s clothist out there.

[Mara]

The Maestro and dressage do indeed have a Bad Romance, now that I think about it.

An educational moment brought to Nick by the Phantom of the Opera

Prima Donna (Phantom of the Opera)

Prolly an ear worm for the rest of us.

[KBC]

Now all I’m hearing them sing is pre Madonna, sigh…

[Dee-Vee]

True dat….

But now you get to match “Pre-Madonna” with the expressions on the actors’ faces. Gives a whole new meaning, ya?

Just thinking…not a fuzzy bathrobe amongst them. . Just slippers with fancy heels and champagne.

Should post the lyrics so Nick can sing along and play the guitar. It is really a clever song.

Be careful if you do, Sir Nick might just find himself relating a little too much to the lyrics! The theater managers sound a little too much like the voices in his head….er, loyal followers, telling him the dressage world needs him, “enchant us once again!”

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.

The receptionist at one job of mine paged the owner of a Grand Pricks.

Stevie Wonder was Pre-Madonna…just sayin’

[Sticky_Situation]

Clearly he was also the dressage judge that gave Nick scores in the 40s.

[ASB_Stars]

I am just the straight man here…

[Jenerationx]

Now I want this… it was in similar items.

My sister would quietly make fun of my dad’s mother by saying her mouth looked like a cat’s butthole. Small and lined with ex-smoker wrinkles, and worse, she purses her lips a LOT.

Later on Amy was more vocal about it. She hated the woman and referred to her openly as “Cat Butt Face”, although not in her presence.

I can never unsee that.

[Hightale]

Two very different environments though, so not really comparable in any way, but good ol’ `nick just has to go there!
Competition arena and playing around in a non competitive way.

[KBC]

Why does he not have his hands in his crotch?

[Angela_Freda]

Not by force.
Yeah, Maestro missed that message.

Nuno really was not the most beautiful rider but he was effective and the horses under him were always very well developed and moving correctly. He could pull the talent out of horses. I do not understand how the Maestro can not see the difference in the musculature and way of going between his horses and Nuno’s. It has nothing to do with breed or being a fancy WB. Correct muscle development and the correct posture of a horse is not bought. Some horses are inherently more talented and better put together but even those who are lesser so can have correct muscle development and posture in the movements.

[Graymaresrule]

Because he doesn’t want to. And hopes his “students” don’t see it either
