Embarrassing top riders with bad Christmas carol parodies and/or elf-yourself videos is a time-honored EN holiday tradition. Here’s our first victim, performed to the tune of “What Child Is This?”
Whose Socks Are These?
Whose socks are these, who’ve come to jog
upon this hard dirt surface?
Which ground juries greet with glances discreet
and they make other riders nervous.
This, this is Buck Davidson
for whom horses jump and dressage bells ring.
Haste, haste across cross-country,
this Buck, the son of Bruce Sr.
Where lies he now on the leaderboard
of all U.S. event riders?
104.5 points above the pack —
could the gap be any wider?
Broken ribs, he doesn’t care —
he just keeps winning everywhere.
Hail, hail this bionic man
this Buck, the son of Bruce Sr.
So bring him now horse after horse,
his groom must be exhausted.
8, 10 entries, he’ll tackle the course —
nobody knows how he does it
Raise, raise the jumps up high,
his only limit is the sky.
Here’s to a baller 2016
for Buck, the son of Bruce Sr.
