What they say about
Firle Place Horse Trials

"Just a note to say what a superb event Firle was over the weekend. Well organised and friendly. I will be back next year. Many thanks.
Natalie Kitchener "
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. W e 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!! David (rider) and Maggie Doel
