Click here for links to our sponsors Thank you to all who came to help and compete, and make the weekend such a huge success. Once we have all recovered, I will post some of the images and results from the horse trials and the 'dog heaven' that made such a huge contribution to the event's success. The gundog scurry was a wonderful addition to the dog events, and watching the huge variety of dogs enjoying themselves, along with their owners, certainly helped to make Sunday an fun day. Elaine Wilson and JJ complete on their dressage score to win the Mitsubishi Motors BE100 Regional Final, Supported by Rainbow Equine who donated some wonderful rugs for the nine qualifiers - Elaine seen here leading the victory gallop around the show jumping arena!

Exciting News in 2009 We are pleased to welcome Rainbow Equine as a new sponsor. Says director Kerry Viney, "We are delighted to be sponsoring the BE100 Regional Final at Firle Place Horse Trials. We will be providing beautiful commemorative show rugs for the first five riders to qualify for the final and to the winners in all other sections. It is important for us in our launch year to be supporting such a great local event and the grassroots level of Eventing". She adds, “The opportunity to compete at Badminton 2010 is a huge incentive for any rider. I think that its is an excellent opportunity for us to be associated with such a great competition, and we look forward to what we hope will be a hotly contested regional final”.
 We are also delighted to welcome the ochre organisation as a new Novice Section sponsor for 2009. Says Managing Director Sharon Bayliss, " the ochre organisation is a business transformation consultancy based in the south-east. It was important to us to sponsor Firle this year as our aim is to work with and support where necessary our local community. We look forward to what I am sure will be an enjoyable event for competitor and spectator alike."

What they say about JOIN US 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. 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!

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 wasl ucky 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. Nevermind 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. Become a helper:
