The Maestro has written another book

Yup, you can’t ever comment on one of his blatherings, no matter how tempting, not even a laugh emoji!

ETA he doesn’t get sarcasm

I looked at his website. He shares with Cheato his ability to really get the most out of a Sharpie- he scribbled out the names of all of the people whose reviews he actually used.

Nope, he does not. Nor does he grasp irony.

Or this either.

Riding one of my mares once with a well-known clinician. He was complimenting my mare (“Now that’s a dressage horse!”) and asked me how she felt. I said it felt like she was about to explode under me. He said that was exactly what she should feel like, always riding that knife’s edge between brilliance and meltdown.

It also means he reduces who views and comments on him in any way, an echo chamber, that’s shrinking.

At this point his echo chamber may be about the size of a shot glass.

He blocked me on Facebook waaaay back when he was praising himself for doing an amazing shoulder in that was more of a messy leg yield - and I asked about that. He then went on to say he was preparing the horse for a side pass instead… and when I asked how and why that would work based on what he had just said, what he was doing in the video and what he was “teaching” - he simply blocked me. One must not ever question a great dressage genius - even when they do not make sense. So no, he does NOT actually want questions or understanding or conversation or input - just slavish adoration of his book-learning horsemanshippery.

Can he block someone on DH who disagrees with his commentary on… DH? Or can he only block people on his own fb page?

DH has become his place to wallow. After yet another DH shame fest, where anyone who wasn’t down with the vile criticism was encouraged to leave, Nick chimed in with this:

Oh good, I have a new opportunity to post this again. I think I blocked enough people off my last post. I’m not sure, so this is a test:

Charlotte “These Are Hands” is an awful rider. She’s forceful and over rides. Her reins are too short and she never has her horses in true collection and self carriage.

……and now we wait

So apparently he relishes typing out vitriol and nonsense, in order to lure more knowledgeable posters into calling him out on his BS, or into questioning his credentials. :crazy_face:

He has blocked me and I cannot see his posts anywhere.

Every fee weeks I use my other log in for a laugh

When somebody blocks you, it’s as if they no longer exist. You can’t see their profile or any of their posts on other pages/groups/profiles. But you can’t be blocked from the whole group/page by a member other than the admin. So you’d still see everything else on DH page except for NP’s posts or comments.

Aha! Thanks. :+1:

I don’t have a fb page, but I guess because I had a business fb page ages ago I’m able to browse public pages and groups on fb.

He’ll block you even if you post a snarky meme in response. I guess we could start a group. Hi. My name is Mersidoats and I’ve been blocked by the Maestro with the Fragile Ego.

Yep. But my FB farm account allows me to see all the wonderfulness.

There are some public pages where you don’t need to be logged in at all (or even have an account) to view them. Depends on individual settings. But in that case if someone blocks you, you can just log out and then you’ll see their posts on that public page again. :laughing:

There was one (although the name escapes me at the moment), but mister fragile masculinity complained to FB and it was shut down :roll_eyes:

Maybe.
Maybe not.

I think it still exists, though I haven’t seen anything in a while about it.

I was the moderator of the one I’m talking about, so it’s definitely gone :wink: whether or not there are other private groups that keep tabs on him, I wouldn’t speculate :smirk:

I would pay good money to watch Nick school Pumpkin and explain why Charlotte’s training is all wrong. I’d provide the popcorn, too.

He obviously hasn’t ridden a GP dressage horse and doesn’t understand the training.

“Push button easy?” Hahahahahahahahahahahhaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! OMG, what a know-nothing but spews his crap anyway.
