Pau Cross-Country Day, the Music Video

I warned you guys a couple weeks ago that I was on a music video making kick, and I’m sorry-not-sorry to report that the obsession hasn’t yet run its course.

Cross country day at an overseas event is always a cultural adventure, and Pau has its own flavor of “spectator sport.” Horses aside, today offered some four-star people/animal watching, from tiny kids on tiny ponies…

…to normal-sized people with freakishly large dogs.

And, not to engage in undue cultural stereotyping, but there was a lot of Frenchness going on out there as well.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. As such, following in the tradition of my Boekelo cross-country video, “I Can’t Feel My Face (When I’m on Course),” I present to you…

Musical inspiration shout-out to my eventer buddy Mary Hollis Baird, who has been keeping my spirits up his week via a bombardment of borderline offensive French GIFs and a reminder that this Flight of the Concords “Foux du Fafa” video exists. Nose baguettes, all I’m saying.

Foux du fafa. Go Eventing.
