SW has had access to some nice horses and some excellent instructors / trainers. Not surprisingly, it seems she burned all those bridges and never did manage to find success, despite crowing about moving to Florida originally to make Canadaās PanAm team, and claiming there was nobody in Alberta good enough to teach her.
It takes a lot of humility to successfully train and compete at the upper levels, something NP and SW lack profoundly. Ironically, as much as both like to point fingers and blame the entire industry, they are the sole reason their riding careers died before they ever started. Also ironic is that they lack the self awareness to realize this even though they both insist that they are āenlightenedā when it comes to the horse world.
So then it seems bitterness and nastiness took over. Like, if she canāt be the Queen Bee sheāll do everything possible to taunt and deride the actual Queen Bee. What a miserable life.
SW and NP are two peas in the same proverbial pod. They have found each other.
I guess someoneās still reading the thread, and hasnāt learned a thing.
āBuy my book! Iāve got boxes of them in the garage!ā
Wonder if anyone ever got their free t-shirt that he promised to send with each book, the one where he stole a copyrighted image and put his text over it?
Oh, Nick: You got what you deserved for scores. Your ride was so bad, the judge didnāt know what test you were riding.
If you have so many great reviews, why havenāt any one of those satisfied people (maybe Dawn?) stepped up to support you by giving you a chance to show your stuff at a clinic they would sponsor?
Look, Iām fed up with all you lot, I keep asking for the souper sekret formula for influencing judges, and no one will tell me, itās diskrimination of the worst sort!
I mean getting a zero for a lengthened walk, with the comment ānone shownā was clearly a cabal against red, draft cross mares.
He canāt believe he still has to explain it. And we canāt believe he still thinks he was riding at anything other than training level.
No judge bragged about giving him bad scores. They did comment on one test that was so bad they couldnāt tell what test they were judging. Iād say that sounds more like sympathy than bragging. And those bad scores were still quite generous considering many of the required movements werenāt performed at all.
We must have a mole amongst us. A sellout. Someone who was willing to trade insider information in exchange for what⦠a fancier bathrobe? A pair of high dollar reading glasses? A yearās worth of Door Dash to fund meal deliveries directly to the basement?
How else did Nick get his hands on āundeniable evidenceā that exposes our āplotā to corrupt judges, so that it could all be revealed in his book? Reveal yourself, I say!
The judge was definitely not bragging, Judy made a general comment that it was one of the lowest scores heād given in his career.
Like the rest of us, NP has only one option if he wants to get better scores: ride better tests. If he canāt look at the videos and understand why that sweet horse wasnāt close to meeting the requirements for Third or Fourth (and he canāt) nothing anyone else says is going to convince him.
I actually read the book, and I donāt remember anything resembling evidence of collusion to drive down his scores being presented (not that it would exist, since he scored low because he deserved low scores, not because any collusion existed, obviously). Does anyone else who read it recall what he could possibly be referring to?
