Jockey is one of the exciting games for everyone, especially in Hong Kong and the coming 2008 Beijing Olympics. Equestrian of course is also held in Hong Kong. We should have a look and participate in this exciting event during visit in HK. The location of the Equestrian at the 2008 Beijing Olympics is held in the outskirts of HK called Sha Tin racecourse in New Territories. Sha Ting Racecourse is not just a racecourse but an entertainment paradise with quality movie theater, fancy spa, and stylish stores.

2008 Beijing Olympics Equestrian features two types of equestrian events. One is Olympic Equestrian Event including three equestrian disciplines: Dressage, Eventing and Jumping.
