Hopefully they are too busy having a life outside his internet fantasy world to realize just how much of an embarrassment he is to them.
(The below quotes are actually from NP’s blog that Snowflake posted.)
Now, I read the book and I think I remember his showing experience that he mentions in the book. Is “winning as a hunter jumper rider” the reference to the one lesson show that he says he cleaned up at but the photo he included shows three different color ribbons? Or is this amazing ‘hunter jumper’ thing something he did not mention in the book?
(I twitch when people call themselves a ‘hunter jumper’ rider since hunters and jumpers are two different things and though some people do both, most people who are saying they are ‘hunter jumper’ rider are just pointing out that they are clueless as to what they actually did.)
Did I miss the part about mountain biking trips through the woods in the book? Can someone remind me how he says he found Chevy in the book?
The book mentions this a little but no where in the book does he talk about actually selling anything other than how hard it was to sell Chevy. Oh, and the horse that went lame from stepping on the nail. So when exactly did he make money selling horses?
This sounds so different than what really happened. He offered to sponsor a trophy. Devon did not find him and say ‘we would like to honor you’, which is how he wrote it.
Darn, and here I thought a sponsor bought the horse for him.
This is so very true! I can totally agree with him on this point. Nice that he realizes it.
Clearly these two things (thick skin and being humble) do not mean what he thinks they mean.
Edit to fix spelling of skin, in thick skin…I had sink. Thick Sink. Seems like an appropriate typing error for a comment about NP.
