David has had a lifelong fascination in bloodstock and has a proven eye for a horse, partly inherited through his parents. His mother and grandmother were leading show judges and his father is one of the finest portrait painters in Britain.

David spent seven years working in racing before returning to the family farm in 1995 to convert it into a successful public stud, Tweenhills Farm and Stud. During this time he gained experience at several studs worldwide and as assistant to Geoffrey Howson, Amanda Skiffington and Luca Cumani at Tattersalls and Keeneland Sales. He was also manager of the bloodstock department for Russell Baldawin & Bright (now Brightwells).

Since the establishment of David Redvers Bloodstock in 1995, David was initially retained for five years by Mark Johnston for all the major yearling sales. In his first freelance year and with only a limited budget, 35% of the runners that he originally purchased as yearlings went on to become stakes performers.

Notable purchases include Penkenna Princess, who came second in the 2005 Gr.1 Irish 1,000 Guineas following up her two-year-old win in the Gr.3 Dubai Duty Free Stakes (The Fred Darling Stakes). Also Johnny Jumpup was second in the Gr.2 Mehl-Muhlens-Rennen (German 2,000 Guineas) and Gr.3 Greenham Stakes.

Speedy two-year-olds included Clare Hills, winner of the L. Hilary Needler Trophy, and fourth in the Gr.2 Queen Mary Stakes to leading juvenile Flashy Wings. Two-year-olds of 2006, Vale of Belvoir and Holdin Foldin, also gained black-type when coming second in Listed races.

Other stakes winners include Stay Young, formerly called Romancero, who won the Gr.3 Sha Tin Mile Trophy and two Listed races in Italy. Ruby Rocket, who won five times, including two Listed races, and came second or third in a further seven stakes races. Also Bouncing Bowdler (Gr.2 Mill Reef), Diktatorial (Gr.3 Somerville Tattersalls Stakes) and Falcon Hill, winner of five races including two Listed races, and Listed winner Strange Destiny.

In addition to this success, David established Tweenhills Racing in 2001 and is responsible for purchasing all their horses, many of whom have won. The Tweenhills/Rathmore Pin-hooking Syndicate has had significant success with Gr.2 Park Hill winner, Rising Cross, and Gr.2 Oak Tree Derby winner, Dark Islander, both having been purchased as foals by the syndicate. Promising young commercial sires Ishiguru, Sleeping Indian and Trade Fair were also purchased by David Redvers and have contributed to Tweenhills Farm & Stud being the leading up and coming independent stud in the country.
