The Olympic Games are fast approaching. They are starting August 8th and we are all anxious to see them, especially those of us the enjoy watching the equestrian sports.
The equestrian sports aren't televised too often and, therefore, we all like to take every opportunity to see our fellow equestrians perform in their disciplines.
I wanted to provide you with the television schedule as was recently released by NBC. Please note, the coverage periods INCLUDE equestrian, but are not limited to it. So it is unknown how much time will be specifically devoted to equestrian.

GO TEAM USA!
Thanks for the info Brigita. We have two locals who made the US Equestrian Team!! And I just found out today that the equestrian events are actually being held in Hong Kong...and the horses will be living in the lap of luxury while they are over there :) Enjoy The Games!
Kara:
It must feel great to hear that 2 locals made it on the US Equestrian Team!
I do know that these horses are pampered.
You enjoy the games, too! :-)
My daughter loves horses. We have had three, there like big dogs.
Steven:
My kids each had a horse when they were growing up. Horses are good teachers and are good for the soul.
