Horse Illustrated Magazine

Equestrian enthusiasts won’t have to miss a minute of 2008 Olympic equestrian coverage.

NBC has decided to stream the Olympics live on the web. This is the first time equestrian events will be available in their entirety.

NBC’s website, www.NBCOlympics.com, will have coverage on an on-demand basis as well as hours of background on athletes, schedules and related material.

Horse sport programming will be on NBC as well as sister cable networks USA, Oxygen, CNBC and MSNBC.
Computer viewers will need to download Silverlight media player in order to view the programming, available to download at www.Microsoft.com.
