"Win a 5*, get a free haircut 💇‍♂️🫣 A bet is a bet after all!", writes the Swiss Felix Vogg on his Instagram page. After making history for Switzerland last weekend with his victory in the MARS Maryland 5* eventing, he lost a bet — his bet stake: to shave off his hair. In a video, the eventing rider is seen sitting in the stable tent as his hair is shaved with a horse clipper. HERE is the link to the Instagram video.
Felix Vogg's victory ride can, of course, be watched at any time in our archive. HERE is the link to the final jump-off.
