The Burlybed Team are excited to announce Hector Payne at the newest brand ambassador to join Team Burly!

Hector Payne is a 5* event rider based in Hampshire. A dedicated horseman and talented rider Hector has had a passion for eventing since his time in the Puckeridge Hunt Pony Club. Hector has been based and trained with some of the UKs top riders including Pippa & William Funnel at the Billy Stud, William Fox-Pitt and Ian & Heidi Woodhead at DHI Event Horses. In 2017 Hector set up on his own and has been going from strength to strength, culminating in his best season yet in 2022 with a podium finish at Pau with his top horse Dynasty.

‘We are really pleased to have Hector joining the team,’ said James Mutton, Owner of Burlybed ‘This is a fantastic opportunity for us to work with a talented young rider who has been using our products and truly believes in what we do. We have always worked hard to grow and produce high quality yet economical bedding and high quality haylage with a real focus on our environment and conservation. We are excited to see what 2023 brings for Hector and his team, we know it is going to be a great year!’

‘I'm really excited to be working with Burlybed’ said Hector, ‘We have used their bedding for over a year now, it has been very impressive and we love the fact that it is so positive for the environment and more sustainable than other bedding types. The Burlybale haylage is also fantastic quality, very palatable for the horses and great for taking away to competitions. I am really looking forward being part of the Burlybed team.’
