Welcoming David Doel to the Burlybed Team
We’re really proud to share some great news. After many years being a Burlybed customer, we are welcoming 5* event rider David Doel into the Burlybed team as our newest Brand Ambassador.
David’s eventing story began at the Avon Vale Pony Club as a regular on all of the teams up to championship level. As he moved through Juniors and Young Riders, he collected team Gold, Silver and Bronze, plus an individual Bronze, consistently demonstrating his horsemanship and determination.
In 2014, he stepped onto the Senior stage with his Nations Cup debut, and that same year he received the Goldman Cup for the best Under‑21 rider of the season.
David stepped up to 5* level in 2018 at Pau and has been a consistent performer at the sport’s highest level ever since. His partnership with Galileo Nieuwmoed is particularly special, together they’ve completed eight 5* events, finishing in the top 10 every time, including:
6th at Badminton 2022
4th at Pau 2022
2nd at Burghley 2023 (winning the Avebury Trophy for an outstanding cross country round
3rd at Maryland in 2024
9th at Pau in 2025
3rd at Kentucky in 2026
With a number of horses in his string now qualified for 5*, David heads into 2026 with one of the strongest strings of his career.
That level of consistency doesn’t happen by chance. It comes from patience, respect and the skill of building true partnership with the horses in his care.
David and the team have been a long term advocates of Burlybed Original, choosing it for its sustainability, cleanliness, and reliability across a busy competition yard. Bedding might seem like a small thing, but it’s part of the foundation of a horse’s wellbeing.
We’re excited to support David and Reybridge Eventing team as they take on another season at the very top of the sport. Welcome to the Burlybed team. We’re delighted to have you with us!
