"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.
