Great point. COTH is definitely somewhere I’d check if I were getting involved with a trainer, seller, or barn. These threads probably save some unsuspecting person from dealing with NP.

He has a new video up. I made it through 2’47" of the 8+ minutes.

Well, these posts are quoting his book, so of course everything that’s said here is “complete bullsh*t”!!!

I seriously love how often he refers back to the draft horse he competed at Training Level as one of the great examples of his success and sources of jealousy from the COTH haters. Does he really think it is that rare for non-WBs to compete successfully in dressage??

Nick mentions the award he gave at Devon. He is pretty lucky that Devon at Dressage didn’t take his butt to court to get three years’ worth of sponsorship fees he never paid.

Definitely seems like the sort of rant that someone who’s comfortable in their own skin and not bothered by the (valid) criticism would post.

Who makes an 8+ minute video if they don’t care?

The horse trained by someone else, to a higher level than he rode? That draft horse?

Dude, seriously. If you were “comfortable in your own skin” you’d have ignored all of this and never written this delusional collection of fairy tales. You wrote it because you lack objectivity about your skills, and can’t believe the rest of the world doesn’t recognize you as the talent you imagine you are. And as for all of us COTH haters (LOL) needing to take lessons from you so you can show us what you know? You would have to prove you actually know something about dressage first. Dry humping an appaloosa doesn’t count. Riding a training level horse and pretending it’s 3rd and 4th level doesn’t count.

Our reviews aren’t fake. They are the truth about your lack of knowledge and your ridiculous assertation that there is some sort of consortium of dressage people and judges conspiring to ruin you. The judges couldn’t even figure out what test you were riding. They didn’t make fun of you
they were confused and frustrated by trying to score a very poorly ridden test that didn’t even show most of the movements or physical capabilities needed at those levels (and the scores you received were actually quite generous).

As for your continuing offers to have any of us take a lesson from you and claiming we can’t form an opinion of your skills unless we do that: You really have no idea who any of us are either, yet you claim we are a bunch of losers who can’t ride. Funny
does that look any different when you’re the one making the same claims you say you believe are unfair? It’s fine for you to make judgment calls without seeing any of us ride. And you delete most anything you post that is evidence
especially video
of your ability. Why is that?

I can promise you that the vast majority of people here in “Swamp Town” can ride circles around you which is why we don’t see any reason to have a casual, intermediate rider with no proven experience give us lessons.

Along those lines, why has the family counselor who wrote the foreword not booked you in all your brilliance to come to California to give one of your free clinics? I would think she would be singing your praises from the rooftops. Funny that she isn’t.

Oh
and you are nowhere near the number one topic on COTH. Not even close. You do provide some entertainment value, but in reality most of us feel sorry for you and find it sad you didn’t want to actually learn to ride and get good instruction and enjoy learning.

Signed,
A Loser From Swamptown who evidently can’t ride
with lots of Regional and National titles to her credit.

Hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! BWWWAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Oh Nick!!! You are not “a great trainer” and you are not “a great rider”. Here’s the thing you haven’t figured out yet. NO ONE WANTS YOU out to give a clinic because we’ve seen you ride and train. I wouldn’t ride with you if you came out here on your own dime. We’ve heard your drivel for years. We’ve heard from people you’ve worked with and people you attempted to “associate with”.

You had a family counselor write your foreword, not a psychotherapist. Get that straight. The foreword does her reputation no favors.

And Nick, it seems that you are the one living in an alternate universe. Clearly, this thread bothers you enough to make a video and post it again claiming you are the victim. This thread actually discusses things YOU wrote in your book and you forget that people here actually have memories of things you’ve previously posted on COTH. People remember what you’ve said because so much was so ridiculous, obviously contrasted with other posts you said about the same subject, or was so easy to find out that it was a blatant lie. When presented with the facts, you doubled down on the lie. I don’t think you can grasp how much your book makes you look bad. I hope more people read it because it makes your character and personality crystal clear.

Oh, and most of us here ride way better than you and have actually shown at levels higher than you. I think everyone here who has shown in recognized shows has scored higher than you and never had scores as low as you got. I suspect you are jealous that so many of us, even amateurs, score higher than you, ride at levels higher than you, are more educated about riding than you and simply ride better than you. No one wants you out for a clinic, all of your videos show that the proof is in the pudding. That is why you lash out at COTH. We talk about you because you have have never posted a video teaching anyone but a beginner/intermediate, and never posted a video of you riding any actual movement. You’ve never posted a video of your test anywhere. I was a regional reserve champ at fourth level and the warm-up you posted was not a fourth level warm-up. Oh, I scored much higher than you at fourth level.

Glad to see that you’ve directed your followers to this thread, which is filled with descriptions of your book and your previous online woes. Anyone can do Google searches to find the truth. I know that bothers you.

ETA: I train my own horses, training level up. I’ve never had one in part or full time dressage training.

Amazing that Nick Peronace doesn’t understand why no one wants him on their property.
If he hadn’t wormed his way onto people’s farms by inflating his non-existing “credentials” there would be no photos of him on a horse since the Appy, or as a junior, which was decades ago.

It is obvious to anyone who rides that he needs to take lessons, and is unqualified to give them.

Giving out other peoples addresses as his own and taking pictures of their farms without their knowledge or permission, to promote himself on his Facebook page and elsewhere, when they have nothing to do with him? Creepy.

They certainly won’t fall for his claim that he trained his Appy to Grand Prix again.

It’s really too bad that Mr. Peronace ruined what could have been a nice concept for an award. If you want to sponsor an award in memory of your favorite horse there is nothing wrong with that, assuming that

  1. You don’t lie about its training.
  2. You actually pay the sponsorship fee.

Ok
so have I got this straight
?

The guy who no longer rides horses but rides lawn mowers wants to give dressage lessons to people who ride horses but not lawn mowers?

I noticed that he said Dressage at Devon gave his horse a trophy and then quickly corrected the lie. I think it’s true that if a person lies long enough, they begin to believe their own lies. He’s right to be careful not to say that Devon “gave his horse a trophy”. They did not, and I think they might take exception to him saying that.
