Does anyone have the schedule for Olympic Equestrian events?

[jellac]

I'd like to watch but can't seem to find a website or link that specificly tells when Olympic equestrian events will be televised in US?

I don't care if the team/equestrians are the US Team - though I'd love to see them perform/compete - but any hints on when to catch the equestrian events would be appreciated.

I downloaded a complete schedule of events in real time from Microsoft, of all places. Part of Vista's Calendar templates. It's an excel spreadsheet. I can't seem to attach here.

i heard a segment on the radio this a.m. about how bad the pollution is and the negative impact on the athletes, especially the marathoners. i don't know that i'd be too thrilled to send my bazillion $$ horse over there.

I saw a comment over on COTH where 2 dead birds at the equestrian venue have tested positive for Avian Flu. For some this may be their only chance and they'll go no matter what the cost to them or their horses.
