We don’t spend a lot of time writing about South African eventing here on Eventing Nation and it is truly our loss. Our friends at the southern tip of the world have taken the lead from other eventing powers and they have announced their 2012 long list at this early stage of the campaign. Announcing early gives them the chance to focus on important things like not getting eaten by sharks rather than worrying about getting selected. South Arican eventing has taken some huge strides forward over the past few years and I hope they continue to develop. South Africa released their list in a press release earlier today and Eventing Worldwide has published the details:
