What they say about
Firle Place Horse Trials

"Just to say a big thank you for such an enjoyable well run, friendly event this year. It was helped by both my sister and I doing well.  It makes such a change actually getting a prize (and a really nice one at that) as well as a rosette. A really worth while long journey for us. Please thank all sponsors.
Louise Clover - Sea Captain;
Emily Clover - Minsmere"

"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

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!
