The Maestro has written another book

[Joanne]

Just in case there is anybody here who hasn’t seen this, a repost:

Nick's Funky Chicken Piaffe

[Bogey2]

OMG…now that is funny!

[Dee-Vee]

Wait…wait…wait…there is a backstory here. It’s called sucking up to SW.

Ashley Holzer once rode for Canada and SW has a hate on for Canadian dressage riders as they called her out on her illegal videotaping of warmups…particularly the dreaded Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu…who once trained under Holzer in Canada.

Brittany BTW has been very successful with her horse All-In…whom SW screams is lame and abused at every opportunity….the harpie that she is, posting the worst stolen pictures ever and inciting the PETA people of dressage. I digress.

SW takes any and every opportunity to shad on Canadian riders….as does her lap dog mini-me Nickie P. If it wasn’t so sad, it would be comical.

So here we are, doing what he does best to get SW’s attention. Not sure if she even noticed.

Even Chevy is embarrassed.

[Joanne]

Every now and then, Nick talks about Chevy’s Cup and says he is thinking of bringing it back. Devon would never do that.

But I wonder why Devon didn’t sue him in civil court for what he never paid. It had to be a substantial amount.

I noticed Maestro has been bringing up Robert Dover and the 96’ Olympics in his comments. You know, because that’s super relevant. After reading RD’s comments about Ebling’s sexual assault allegations, they seem like a good pair.

@Joanne

I wonder, who are the many other horses he trained to what would be considered FEI?

And who “considers” their training to be FEI level? Nick?

[Joanne]

@Paint_Party

And who “considers” their training to be FEI level? Nick?

Just Nick.

Edited: He originally thought that FEI started at fourth level.

[smoofox]

Yep. The guy who can’t even identify (or feel) a late change… is an expert on the training and athleticism a horse needs to be at FEI level. That guy.

[Fiesta01]

Yes. But do you have a basement?

Federation of Emptyheaded Ignoramuses?

@Warmblood1

That comment he wrote is contradictory.

It gave me a headache trying to figure out the logic of his latest spewing of bombast.

It seems he hasn’t ridden or handled a horse in several years, let alone conducted one of his masterful clinics. He’s so out of the loop that his attempts at remaining relevant are (almost) sad. Yet he feels justified in pontificating about “riding education” vs. “riding abilities.”

And has anyone ever explained why he and his Crotch PawsTM are constantly ragging on Charlotte? I mean, why her?

He hates all women, however:-

• She’s a successful woman
• He thinks she’s rich (she’s not) and hasn’t paid her dues in the sport (because he’s not bothered to read about her, or read her book)
• She gets schoolmasters bought for her and she does not train any of her horses
• Therefore she’s a rich, successful woman who gets given push button horsies (and we all know that anyone can get on a push button school master horsey and ride GP, he’s told us that - even though he couldn’t get the one he was allowed to ride out of the corner and had to be lead out).

She’s credited in his book, he thinks they’re very close. She wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire, she used him for clicks and he got her more than she’d ever dreamed of.

Where do you guys see these comments? Are they already gone?

[Night_Flight]

It was on DH’s FB page, in the comments under a post about Charlotte Dujardin.

[Graymaresrule]

Has he blocked you?

[LexInVA]

Dressage Hub

[chancellor2]

Ahhh, good call Carol! He may very well have.

[Paint_Party]

@chancellor2

No, they’re not gone. They’re on the fb link to Dressage Hub that @LexInVA posted.

Nick and a handful of like-minded posters seem to think that Charlotte (and those who ride like her) are meanies to their horses and ride with too much leg pressure and rein contact. Maybe they think the GP horses should be going around like western pleasure horses with Reins of Silk. I don’t know. But at any rate, Nick and his minions get defensive and indignant if anyone dares to ask to see videos of their GP rides. Which I find hysterical. Predictable, yet funny nonetheless.

[Dee-Vee]

Honestly, I believe that many of those commenters are PETA people that believe that horses should not be used for any domestic or sport purpose and, when they are, are being abused and exploited by humans. They believe that horses should be free to roam without human intervention, notwithstanding the fact that their life span would be significantly shortened as prey animals. Better to be eaten by predators than domesticated by humans. Sigh

NP’s posts give these people voice to expound on their perceived cruelty of dressage. They don’t necessarily agree with Nick’s opinions on riding. He is just a conduit to their own agenda.

And that is why anyone serious about dressage does not take DH or SW seriously. And why NP is a nobody.
