The Last Word...

Brightling is a lovely family run event and the organisers go out of their way to make it fun for all. They do their best with sometimes very sun baked land in July to provide good going for the jumping. Cross country course is well built, on rolling terrain and horses need to be fit! Dressage arena for CIC classes is on the front lawn of the house – very nice indeed!
