So it really was a real life version of The (Bathrobe) Sisterhood of the Traveling Book!
I could’ve used some summer reading, due to thunderstorms that prevent me from riding all 14 of my horses each day. Almost wish he’d completed his sequel. Almost.
Oh yes, as I recall, that video was taken in the very start of Chevy’s illustrious career with NP. Why are people using it to ridicule NP? He was just starting to teach passage to Chevy and every one know that Charlotte DuJardin starts all of her horses the same way! In fact, she likely stole this method of training from Nick because Nick obviously perfected this technique first. She’s such a hack!
Couldn’t tell you, I’m not even in the same country. But I’m imagining he’d be able to uplift his family if suitable renumeration were offered. This might just be his path to the Olympics, all hope is not lost!
YOU don’t KNOW what you’re talking about! YOU must be A COTHER living in their parent’s basement donning (oh wait, that’s too fancy a word) WEARING a bathrobe.
Can you even tell that the horse to the right and left of center in the foreground has springy gaits that only come with a knowledgeable trainer? Nick taught them how to piaffe in no time!!! Only a prodigy can do that. You are jealous because you can’t train 25 or so horses to piaffe in minutes like NP can.
Most of them look to be evading the bit, no doubt a learned behavior resulting from crotch hands. Maestro will ignore that to point out that the palomino in the foreground is in a perfect frame. Because in MaestroWorld, the head and neck are the only defining elements of a horse working in balance, through, and from behind.
MaestroWorld? Sounds like some sort of otherworldly amusement park. Attractions include:
The Tilt 'n Whirl
It’s a Small Arena, After All (complete with obnoxious background tune playing incessantly)
Crotch PawsTM, the Ride
Haunted Freestyle (visitors watch haphazard freestyles set to patriotic music)
Pirates of the Dressage Test Score Sheets
Mr. P’s Wild Ride
Great Moments with Corrupt Dressage Judges (audio animatronic performances)
Piaffe Mountain rollercoaster Be sure to stop by the Reins of Silk taffy pull stand for a special treat, then enjoy a nightly presentation of Bathrobes on Parade!
