Boyd Martin and Contestor Take $50,000 Devon Arena Eventing Win

Boyd Martin thrilled the local crowd last night aboard Denise Lahey and Pierre Colin’s homebred Contestor, taking the $50,000 Devon Arena Eventing win under the lights at the Devon Horse Show & Country Fair in Devon, Pennsylvania.

Boyd, who lives in nearby Cochranville, has competed in the class every year since it started in 2017, and he topped the podium for the first time with a gutsy inside turn in the jump-off and the fastest time of 73.30 seconds.

Contestor, a 12-year-old KWPN gelding (Contango X Jer’s Princess, by Killer Jer), finished eighth last year at Devon with a rail down in both the first round and the jump-off, but he rose to the occasion last night to deliver one of only three fault-free performances.
