I am sure Dawn is a very nice person but she clearly did not read the actual book if she starts with ‘well written’. The amount of ‘typing errors’ (pretending that it is just a typing mistake, not his lack of language skills) makes ‘well written’ just ridiculous.
It is nice that Dawn is trying to help someone she clearly likes.
Or feels sorry for, perhaps.
Dude can’t get out of his own way.
I’m relieved and hopeful that this horse has a chance to be ridden at an appropriate level, with guidance from knowledgeable professionals. She deserves that, as she’s proven she’s “ammy friendly” in the “can take an extreme joke” sense.
Reading Dawn’s review, I’m not sure she would recognise such errors - or be an adequate judge of literary quality - if it danced naked wearing Dobby’s tea cosy.
Frankly, she writes “as badderly as he do”.
Valid point and I agree.
I am sure he sent her an email or such asking her to review his book. Heck, he probably told her what to write.
If he was willing to ask strangers in the author group to do it, I am sure he was willing to send an email to her.
Definitely NOT humping
Are you engrossed in NP’s tell-all tome yet? 
Should I send @Unfforgettable the Swamp Town Magic Decoder Ring? It’s useful to identify the thinly veiled aliases NP created for various people, farms and horses.
Good, because Carpathia looked like an excellent hack about horse.
The book describes that she’s an Intro-level rider. She had GP rider out to ride the horse who said that the horse doesn’t know upper levels. She called Nick and he came out to exclaim that the GP rider was trash and put free rides on the horse to get her back to Fourth Level. SHe was apparently so grateful and is a regular on his Facebook groups gushing praise. I suspect he told her that he was selling a $$70K horse to her for $1500 because he liked her and recognized her greatness.
I hope Carpathia is happy hacking and riding at Intro, maybe training level. That’s a nice life for a horse.
This is bugging me: when NP entered Carpathia in the Bucks County USDF show at 3rd and 4th level, he must have truly believed that he was riding her at that level, no? Otherwise, con artist or not, why would he have set himself up for such an embarrassment?
Because he truly believed that was 3rd and 4th level.
Oh, dear. This is the result of teachers using purple and pink pens for corrections because red is too hostile.
Can I call “Premonition of a Flounce”?
Someone needs to name a Western Dressage horse “Fixin to Flounce”
“Prelude to a Flounce”
Ohhh, Ode to a Flounce 
Anyone else old enough to remember the movie “Caddy Shack” & the “we’re browsers” scene?? For some reason I’m picturing Rodney Dangerfield going: “We’re Flouncers! He’s half Flouncer on his mother’s side! Watch us. We’re flouncing!”
“Flounce in GG minor”
