come on guys its not that far.....we used to event in simodium where we would go out each day with the horses and we stay in noordhoek so it really is the other end of the world. i know that the dressage people have looked at bien donne as a venue and if its up to their standards trust me it will good enough for all of the other disciplines, i think it will be lovely there

We will all be around! PLUS its a new venue not to close to the national road and so on... Surely security and all will be jacked up

I was there this weekend and i have to say, ITS STUNNING. The going is good at the monet but may get harder without rain. Im sure they will be watering the arena's though. Really a stunning venue. Worth the drive and definatly much better security. I may take smokes just need to work out how much trucking will be.

I'm so disappointed because I missed Agri last year because things were too hectic at Varsity and all and now I'm going to miss it again!
