What was the brief when looking for the equestrian venue?
The brief specified that the equestrian venue should: – Be close to the Olympic village and the media centre. (It was a requirement by the London Bid Company that the venue be within 30 minutes of the proposed Olympic village at Stratford, East London) – Be accessible by public transport. – Be visually stunning, particularly for television. – Be cost effective. – Unite all three Olympic disciplines. Overall, the chosen venue needed to have the potential to stage the best equestrian Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.
