Both David and I would like to thank the whole team for such a lovely event at Firle.

We avoided our more local "Gatcombe" to make the trip down to Sussex - and were delighted
that both horses were placed - especially as they earned us your lovely tumblers - thank you.
 
We really enjoyed the XC course - we were pleased to find that it had sufficient challenges to
make the horses and rider  "think" - but with a super gallop home!!
 
Friendly efficient stewarding for all phases always helps the day go well and how nice to feel a bit of atmosphere in the show jumping ring with all the stands around.

We hope to be back again in the future - and thank you all very much for your hard work. 
David (rider) and Maggie Doel

Thanks very much for a great day. The children had great time too.Can't belive there were 25 in the dog classes.Will have to wash the dog next year!
Annette Philpot
 
Thank you very much for a fantastic weekend at Firle.  Although my results page does not look that great, both of my horses and more importantly I learnt loads from the weekend.
 
The weather on saturday was beautiful and I was lucky enough to finish before it got too hot.  Unfortunately on sunday I choose to walk the course and was at the further point when the heavens opened.  Never mind at least when I was riding I managed to compete in the dry. Thanks again and roll on next year.
Thanks
Sonia Chapman

Thank you and all your helpers for a great competition at Firle Place at the weekend. Moving the show jumping and trade stands up to the house has transformed the event and has made it into one of the best Novice venues.
Jeremy Samuels, competitor


Many thanks to you and all your staff and helpers for organising such a brilliant event. The whole thing just keeps getting bigger and better each year and it really makes it feel you've achieved something showjumping with all the stands and people etc. all around. Great atmosphere!
Dominic & Juliet Langdon-Down
