The Maestro has written another book

[Old_Mac_Donald]

Mine too!!

Dang! I missed out on frolicking in horse trailers with trainers. What did I do wrong?

I have to admit that I agree with something this person wrote in their review. I read this book very quickly, I too could not put it down.

My being engrossed was more because it was totally amusing, like a comedy, not because I found anything in it well written or factual.

But, getting thru it in two days and not wanting to put it down is a believable part of the post.

Oh Bettina… Poor choice there.

[Dr_Doolittle]

OMG.

Wow - I wonder how much he paid her?

[Ambitious_Kate]

She may be a person who doesn’t know him, who is afraid to come out on the “wrong side” of things. She may have been more afraid of being honest than she was of trying to be diplomatic.

Um. Then why post anything, let alone a photo of yourself smiling with the book?

[Knights_Mom]

Because how else would we know what his cousin Maria looks like?

[Night_Flight]

Maybe she wanted the coveted free t-shirt

Would that be the (in)famous Maria Garcia?

Oh, come to cowboy country. But bring your own Navajo blanket because the trailer mats are cold and dirty. (Yup, I know of an actual horse trailer frolicking incident).

I guess @MidlifeCrisis’ Amazon review went over as well as we expected, seeing as cousin Maria cough Bettina Maria suddenly came out of the woodwork with a glowing review. what a coincidence!

[MidlifeCrisis]

I didn’t write that review. I just copied and pasted it from the Amazon page. Frankly, I have no desire to pollute my brain with his drivel.

[ThreeFigs]

So this Bettina Wise wrote a review of Nick’s book on his website or whatever it is? That’s nice. Didn’t choose to put it on Amazon for all the world to see? That doesn’t help Nick sell books.

[Paint_Party]

The review is posted on his facebook page. Which is a treat unto itself.

@J-Lu

I’ll be inline for a copy as well. I’ll happily pass it along after a re-read and will light candles each night it is in my home.

Is this because:

1. You’re a glutton for punishment
2. You’re in need of some horse-related amusement
3. You just want to see if the book is as bad and outrageous as you remember

Yes, Yes and especially yes to #3!! At least knowing the content will save me from being rather horrified at the level of narcissism. I promise to only read it wearing a bathrobe and matching bunny slippers!

Yep, come to UK eventing country too - very well known Olympic riders used to be (and may still be) regulars with groupies in the back of a trailer - but it was all totally consensual, no-one was coerced. The Jilly Cooper books aren’t terribly far off real life sometimes.

[Knights_Mom]

I must be slacking because I’ve never schtoinked a BNT, especially in a trailer!

[LiberalSnowflake]

One of my GFs used to be a very high level international eventing groom, and one of her friends got a tummy bug so asked if said GF could run over and help her rider to get the horse ready whilst she was confined to porta-loo. My GF knocked on trailer and said “** sent me”, assuming rider knew that his groom was in porta-loo, only to be told “I don’t usually f*ck the fat ones, but come in”. This was back in the 90s - so classy.

[Knights_Mom]

I would have gone in, peed in his shoes and left.
