Sheldon’s predilection for saying ‘coitus’.
So now it’s Russell Coight-us…

Ha ha ha ha. You’re a dufus.
I find it funnier as “Coight”, because I’m sure it’s a reference to that really old fashioned Aussie euphemism.
If you haven’t gone down the rabbit hole, here is Episode 1:
It’s got a horse in it (at least one)

Ah, yeah… Sorry I’m a BBT nerd! Didn’t even occur to me!
Y’know, I don’t even dressage, never mind aspire to upper levels.
But if I did, and if I were the envious type, the person I’d be jealous of would be someone like Alice Tarjan, who has that key combination of money, talent, and desire to put in the work needed for upper level success. I’m sure Nick resents the hell out of her because she’s a successful woman rider, if he even knows who she is. But he can’t accuse her of getting to the top by only riding GP schoolmasters.
Point being, I’d not waste good jealousy on the likes of Nick. He may have a name in the dressage world, but it’s for all the wrong reasons.

I always thought it was funny how he falls back onto that old " they all are just jealous of me" trope. Nobody actually believes that when people question your behavior, morals or knowledge it’s because they are actually jealous. It’s something mothers said to children, years ago. It sounds to me like nick was made fun of alot when he was a kid, and his mother said to him, they are just jealous, and he believed it.
Can you imagine repeating that as an adult, not only to yourself, but out loud, and you think thats how huge swaths of people behave when they are jealous? Most people don’t succumb to jealousy, anyway. It’s a stupid emotion/reaction. Criticizing a con artist for taking advantage of people is not jealousy.
No one wants to be like Nick. No one aspires to refuse to learn as much as he does. No one believes the trope of people getting jealous as the reason they don’t like you. People actually don’t like liars, and can see him as one easily.

But he doesn’t acknowledge the draft was a second level schoolmaster. He claims he trained the horse to second level himself, and was schooling third when the ride was taken away from him. He showed it training in two classes, I believe. The horse had been beautifully schooled and shown by its owner and another trainer some of us know. The horse had been in a field for a while and his owner wanted the horse to be ridden and exercised, but When she found out he was claiming he was schooling third with the horse, which the horse was in no condition to do, the owner quietly pulled the ride.
It’s too bad, because that would have been a nice horse for him to ride and show a little, had he been willing to take lessons and learn.
I think he only rode it for a few months one summer. I could be wrong, but I don’t think it was an entire year. I don’t know how he thinks he could train a horse to second level in a few months.

Is that first class a walk/trot test?
Oh, yes? Dunno, is that Intro A? Also, I think test 1 for Training is only Walk Trot, no canter? Correct me if I’m wrong. I forget which training test has canter, but I don’t think it’s test 1?
Yup… but you gotta be okay with shoveling snow in the winter in your bathrobe.
Intro A & B are w/t only. Intro C and up are w/t/c

F.E.I. Eventing at the 2* level uses a Test A. I am sure that is the case here

Those are nice scores for your first time showing. Did he diss this judge? I would hope not.
I doubt it. He did not show second level. This was Intro and Training.
It was a joke. I doubt he’s up to international level eventing. But then I’m just jealous, g.

Needs must. Plus isn’t shoveling snow in muck boots and a bathrobe de rigueur?
