Well the big day has arrived and its the start of the 2008 Olympics.

Here is some of the best content available online for all you avid equestrian fans.

• As usual the BBC has pulled out all stops with some great video footage available:

- Interview with William Fox-Pitt about his preparation

- Video: The disruptions to equestrian riders from a tropical storm

- Video: How to cool a hot horse down

- Video: Interview with Mark Phillips who is the coach of the American Team

To stay up to date with some of the English coverage keep checking the BBC Equestrian page.

• The Equestrian 2008 site is also a ‘must view’ and has all the event times, venues, and (will be posting) results.
• Fox Sports has an Equestrian has a mash up of news and a hero wall
• Yahoo7 has horsy news, photos and a list of all the equestrian athletes which is kinda interesting

ABC gets the prize for the most boring equestrian Olympic website! Not a single image / video or interview. Well done to them.

Also did you know that UK residents can watch the games online at BBC and in the USA they can watch it on NBC Online… If you want to access that content but you live here in aus, you could try a proxy server. (More about that later)
