Follow Rolex Kentucky Live Online

Apr 21, 2009 No Comments by Jackie

rolex-kentucky1 I was really hoping to make it to at least part of the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event this week, but with too much other unplanned travels cropping up this spring, it just isn’t going to happen this year.

Instead I’m going to have to live vicariously through my buddy Glenn the Geek, who will be there covering the event for his Horse Radio Network and the Eventing Radio Show. They’ve got some pretty cool online coverage up hiding up their polo wraps.

Horse Radio Network Live Commentary

Using a cool online service called Cover It Live, the Horse Radio Network with retired British eventer Samantha Clark will provide live, expert commentary on performances as they happen. You can check out the commentary here on Regarding Horses’ Rolex LIVE! page, and be sure to bookmark it for easy updates over the next five days.

“Cover it Live” is the only interactive live blogging software of its kind. Viewers at home will be able to follow Eventing Radio’s live play by play commentary of the action at the Kentucky Horse Park in a scrolling window here on Regarding Horses. Plus, you can participate by adding comments, asking questions, and contributing to the conversation. Imagine a live scrolling forum with images, audio and conversation with your friends. How cool is this going to be?

Daily Podcasts

Glenn will be recording daily podcasts for the Eventing Radio Show throughout the event, including recaps of daily events and interviews with top riders. Subscribe to the Eventing Radio Show on iTunes or check out the website for daily episodes.
