David Wins TopSpec Eventing Scholarship

6th July 2010

CHIPPENHAM-based David Doel is the winner of the prestigious 2010 TopSpec Eventing Scholarship.

David (17) currently has five horses to compete including two Advanced rides Pick and Mix ll and Cartman.

Riding Silver Fox, David had a successful career in pony eventing before progressing on to horses and building a team of both experienced rides and talented youngsters for the future.

Said David: “When I heard the news I was delighted and look forward to being associated with such a well known brand as TopSpec.

“Making sure your horses are receiving the correct feed is vital to success in the world of eventing.

“To be the first ever male winner of the scholarship is amazing and I am also following some very well known previous winners.”

David’s prizes include a year’s supply of TopSpec Comprehensive Feed Balancer and TopSpec CoolCondition Cubes; plus supplements and additives for two horses for 12 months, a cross-country training bursary of £500, horse and rider clothing, and ongoing nutritional support from an experienced TopSpec nutritionist.

“The nutritional advice and training money will be so valuable.  I have five talented horses and feel very lucky to now have support from TopSpec as well,” he added.

David plans to use the training bursary for coaching with Yogi Breisner to add to his regular support from mum Maggie Doel, Pammy Hutton and Toby Blake.

The 2010 TopSpec Eventing Scholarship also saw two runner-up places awarded with these going to Cheshire-based Dee Hankey, well known for her partnership with  Big El, and Central Scotland-based Daniel Scott, aged 17, and with his sights firmly set on the top of his chosen sport.
