115 degree heat, high humidity, possible typhoons - human's choose to compete horses have no choice
7/28/2008 3:15:03 PM
I am more impressed by those who chose not to participate due to health risks for their horses.
7/28/2008 2:24:46 PM

I just hope we don't have to compete w/other sports, which cuts into quality time for the horses.
7/24/2008 9:58:07 PM
How do we watch on the internet???????????
7/24/2008 9:05:22 PM
Wish I was there! Go get 'em!
7/24/2008 5:32:27 PM
Hoping the coverage will improve. Network coverage of any horse event is usually poor.

I refuse to support the politics involved in the whole Olympic process!
7/24/2008 3:00:51 PM
Television coverage is usually not good for equine events, so why bother! We'll hear about it soon e
7/24/2008 2:55:41 PM
Riders and horses good luck, be safe, make us proud!
7/24/2008 2:32:20 PM
Best wishes for SAFE and successful eventing!

I can't get NBC on my TV. I would like to see the equestrian events.
7/24/2008 11:54:22 AM
Have lost most interest in the Olympics. Will only be watching Equestrian events when I can.
7/24/2008 10:49:33 AM

7/23/2008 6:25:12 PM
My local cable company doesn't have Oxygen which is broadcasting the equestrian events
7/23/2008 6:16:32 PM
You are all totally wonderful, riders too!!!
7/23/2008 5:50:39 PM
I don't get Oxygen, so I won't be able to watch xc on TV. Will it be on the internet?
7/23/2008 4:45:31 PM

7/23/2008 4:42:03 PM
I don't think we should be there at all
7/23/2008 4:06:53 PM

7/23/2008 11:13:29 AM
Depends on how it's broadcast-no cable or dish here, just network TV & coverage typically very poor.
7/23/2008 10:56:15 AM
I'm boycotting the entire thing, for political reasons
7/23/2008 10:31:01 AM
I hope and pray that no horses or riders are killed or seriously injured!
7/23/2008 9:55:13 AM

7/23/2008 7:07:16 AM

7/23/2008 7:06:42 AM
Why would anyone put their horse or themselves in a place where the air quality is so poor?

I will be cheering on Canada! Go Red and White!

7/23/2008 2:10:12 AM

NBC should air more of the equestrian events due to US hosting the WEG in 2010.

7/22/2008 8:24:32 PM
Unfortunately, equestrian sports is never has very good Olympic coverage.

Hopefully there will be decent coverage on cable TV.
7/22/2008 5:22:36 PM
You have to pay extra for digital TV in Canada to see any of the Olympic equestrian events. Sucks!
7/22/2008 5:22:34 PM
It is a extremly poor enviroment to have a horse in
7/22/2008 5:19:40 PM
How I will view the events depends on how they're provided.
7/22/2008 5:18:59 PM
Wish they'd show the ParaEquestrian events! Know one of the USA riders!!
7/22/2008 5:17:57 PM
Go Canada, go

7/22/2008 4:55:27 PM
Go Eventing Team!
7/22/2008 4:47:35 PM
Rural, no cable or satellite or Oxygen = no Olympic Equestrian events - what were they thinking?
7/22/2008 4:45:16 PM
I will watch on regular TV, not cable or satulite
7/22/2008 4:42:56 PM
Hope they show more of the compatitions this year at a normal time.
7/22/2008 4:34:55 PM
I just pray that the riders are very judicious in their riding and protect their horses
7/22/2008 4:28:35 PM
I plan to watch as much as possible!
