Has anyone else noticed that about the time one of these threads winds down and there’s no more activity, old Nick pops up to “poke the bear” so to speak? I’m starting to believe he does it just because it gets him attention. There is a definite pattern emerging.

It appears there has been more money spent on the postage mailing his “book” from one COTH member to another than total sales. No doubt that chafes.
Cornstarch down your drawers will help Nick.
Cardbourdeaux helps readers. Too bad it can’t be mailed WITH Nick’s latest “book”.

I can’t understand the mental processes of a dishonest person pretending to be something they are not, and not understanding that the jig is up, I really can’t.
I just hope that no one is duped by him again. Obviously no one here will be.
When someone claims to have trained a horse to Grand Prix but has no show record, no home video of them riding Grand Prix (or even 4th level) movements, and a history of of laughing off their own dishonesty, the writing is on the wall.
It’s sad, and I do pity him, but I feel more for the people whose photos he stole in an attempt to make himself look legitimate, and for those that he has lied to.

I get cold with the changing season. Sorry. Look for my fleece overthrow. I use it on the couch.

I’m finished, I’m done, I simply could not actually finish this book.
The last section I got to was the random thrown together of stories, and I just put it gently down, and went and wrapped my dressing gown around my head to stop my head exploding. I see there is more, but nope enough is enough.
So overall, once again, a long diatribe of imagined hurts and slights dumped on NP. I can only imagine from his own words that he is a nightmare as a border, before he has been thrown out of so many places, or found them wanting. If this book is supposed to be an expose of some sort, it misses for the simple lack of any actual evidence of what he says.
Mind you I did find one little gem in the random stories, about a girl who had importanted a horse from Europe…I think importanted should be a word, all I need to do is find it a meaning.
Off to pack this thing up and send it to the next victim, and I think I will have a long hot shower…I feel the need to be clean again.

Importanted is nearly as good as pradictamint. 
Which page was importanted on? Can you give me a page number? Oh, that’s right …

He thinks if he keeps talking, louder, faster and uses more words than the time before, someone who has been in the business will believe him and by the time they have figured out he is giving them bad advice, they will succumb to sunk costs (emotional, time, money, whatever).
Maybe in the pre-internet era he could have pulled it off. For a time.

Are you sure that was Nick’s book you read? I mean…I thought he said it was all about his accomplishments that made swampland jealous?
Congratulations. Well done. Now find another bathrobe

It had been trained and competed at second level by a local trainer, and his owner, years earlier. he had been sitting in a field for a year or so, and his owner wanted to get him out and about, and ridden. She helped and encouraged nick to go to his first ever dressage show on her cute horse, where he competed at Intro and Training 1. He got blue ribbons in those classes, as he was the only rider, and claimed he received “Year End Rewards”. I think he received sccores in the low 60’s, nice enough for your first time out, but if he was the haut ecole trainer he claimed, on a second level school master, he should have produced much higher scores at Intro and Training 1. Those are just walk trot classes. No canter.
When he spread the word everywhere that he had trained the horse to second level, and was working on third level with him, the owner took the ride away. She said the horse was in no where near condition to be working at third level and if thats what he was doing, it had to stop. There were other reasons too, but that was the maine one. You can imagine him working incorrectly, no one would want him doing that on their horse.

Gee, Nick really doesn’t like Amazon reviews… does he. He spent eight minutes telling us how much he doesn’t care about the reviews.

Forrest Hill Farm in Indiana has a whole barn of drafts, 1/2 drafts, and 1/4 drafts competing all the way through Prix St George, with a couple schooling the Grand Prix.
They breed/break/train them themselves.
Super nice people.

It’s not just the REVIEWS that are revealing - I think there are coloring books that rank higher overall:
- Best Sellers Rank: #1,212,584 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
- #7,375 in Sports Biographies (Books)
- #43,594 in Memoirs (Books)

It’s also interesting that Nick’s listed PA business (Enterprise Steaks) uses an address owned by someone else entirely and it’s a condo. Thank you Bucks County.

After seeing Nick’s latest public video about his book, I think he doesn’t realize how much entertainment he provides with his nonsensical rants and claims. Dude, you are ENTERTAINMENT not a threat to anyone. Keep posting, publishing ect. I for one am continually ENTERTAINED.

I absolutely cannot imagine how someone can be like this. He is right though. The more we talk about this book we are generating interest in it. What we SHOULD do is start selling our used copies on Amazon for less than $20.
Also, the more copies sold on Amazon is more “verified buyer”
None the less, I am sending my copy out to someone tomorrow.
Dear Nick, I do intend to carry on.

Hard to imagine it’s worth the postage but it’s worth a try.

Exactly. Those scores reward what he’s actually capable of, a walk trot test on a trained horse.
There’s no shame in that. Everyone starts at the bottom.
As to him attempting third movements with that poor horse:
that just illustrates his complete misunderstanding of building a foundation of fitness in the horse at a given level in preparation for the next level.
Fitness. Both horse and rider (cough) need it to be prepared to perform. You don’t get that by not riding because it’s 40* or because you’re just lazy. You can’t buy it by buying a schoolmaster, or assume it by being sat in a schoolmaster.

But, hang on just a cotton picking minute there! Anyone can ride a schoolmaster, they’re PUSH BUTTON, that’s how CJD and CH did it - and most of the Olympic riders who can’t actually ride anyway - they just are rich and buy schoolmasters who are push button! NPs own words. If NP himself can’t get amazing scores on this push button draft horse in any class he chooses, then the whole theory falls apart …

I’m not yet out of my bathrobe and here’s a morning gift: The online manic ramblings of Nick Peronace, balancing atop a tiny lawnmower no less.
It’s clear that his fevered fantasy is for many of us to gather together (a Swamp Town convention!) with our horses (maybe South Point arena in Las Vegas?) so he can give us a grand clinic revealing how much we do not know about riding and training. And then he’d unleash his speshul brand of Nick Peronace vengeance upon us, too. Because we’re all losers and dummies spewing BS about him.

Now there’s a scene.
Notwithstanding that NP will never get near my horse, what is enlightening to me is how easily a horse can be damaged by someone like him.
Just looking at his videos tells me that he and the redheaded firecracker mare of mine would get into a peeing match whereby he would most likely get hurt. And ya…she’s a “none-warmblood,” but smart and talented. Smarter than him BTW. He’d be on his keester…or in a corner, whatever works best for her. TeeHee.
More eyeballs on the likes of him the better for the sake of horses and riders everywhere. I don’t mind raising awareness.
