The first event of 2021 is officially done and dusted, which means we’re off and running with Weekend Winners to kick off your Monday mornings. This year, look for more international results to make appearances every now and then as we love keeping tabs on eventing in all corners of the world.

Leah Lang-Gluscic got her year off to a rocking start with two wins at Barnstaple South. Bollywood, a 6-year-old Oldenburg gelding who began eventing with Leah in June of last year, picked up the blue in the Open Novice division, also earning the first Unofficial Low Score Award of 2021 on a final score of 23.3. Meanwhile his stablemate, Only the Silk, owned by Lee Thibodeau, finished the Open Beginner Novice event with a win on a score of 26.1. This was the third career start at the level for the 8-year-old Thoroughbred gelding.
