The drags
The drag crew is now experiencing a renewed vitality brought about both by the rediscovery of outdoor sports riding, which pushes riders out of the comfort of rides,
but also by the very nature of the "drag".
This is the merit today of a new generation of riders: not only to continue to survey our countryside on horseback but also to have fully taken into account the cultural and environmental aspect of this activity (the youngest member at twenty year).
As wrote theBaron d'Ariste, Master of the Pau Hunt from 1959 to 1976, "if in the French vénerie one rides a horse to hunt, the Pau Hunt hunts to ride a horse"
… and this is where the word “hunting” is partially usurped, because there is no game!
If we had to give three characteristics to the Pau Hunt
- you never get bored (obstacles and landscapes are guaranteed).
- each outing is a popular event which, if it is codified (rules of conduct, dress), remains festive for the guests on horseback or the spectators on foot... here we are not snob, and each hunt ends with a solid meals in these inns dear toCecil AldinandHarry Elliott.
- there is only the pleasure of seeing the pack and the horse-rider communion working.
