Olympic Games in Hong Kong, Samsung Super League and CN Global Champions Tour highlight international agenda

PhelpsSports.com, one of the world's fastest growing equestrian news websites, will be offering complete coverage of a vast array of key summer horse shows in the United States this year. In addition, in-depth reporting from the 2008 Olympic Games in Hong Kong, as well as this year's Samsung Super League tour, and continued reporting from the CN Worldwide Global Champions Tour, will make PhelpsSports.com the high performance home page for high performance equestrians worldwide.

PhelpsSports.com is already receiving accolades for the website's coverage of the just completed Rolex FEI World Cup Finals in Gothenburg, Sweden. Comprehensive, in-depth, and accurate reporting by Pegasus award winning reporter Jennifer Wood was accompanied by hundreds of great photos and unique audio interviews with the key players, including winner Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum, second place finisher Rich Fellers, and U.S. Chef D' Equipe George Morris.

The response to Mary Hilton's reporting from the Dressage World Cup Finals held earlier this season in The Netherlands was equally glowing.

"Thank you PhelpsSports! The wonderful reporting and very timely updates from this year's World Cup Finals was very much appreciated. I was shocked there was no live video of this year's competition, but your up-to-the-minute recaps and reporting was the next best thing. Thanks!"
Meg Terrell, Darien, CT.

Mary Hilton's reports from 's-Hertogenbosch were wonderful. Can you pass along my thanks for the great coverage?"
Maureen Covey, Lexington, KY

"Jen Wood's reports and photos from Sweden made it almost like being there. Phelps Sports continues to be unique in the world of equestrian news reporting. Thank you."
Robert Wilson, Houston, Texas

"I attended this year's World Cup Finals in Gothenburg, and returning to my hotel room each night, I was able to relive the great experience with the PhelpsSports.com stories."
Anika Gerstrom, The Netherlands

"Thank you PhelpsSports.com for your dressage World Cup Finals coverage. It is much appreciated here in the heartland."
Jenny Fredrickson, Wayzata, MN

Upcoming events on the PhelpsSports.com schedule include the Kentucky Spring Horse Shows, with Jenny Ross and Rebecca Walton anchoring the coverage.

PhelpsSports.com will be on the scene for this year's Devon Horse Show and Country Fair, with Ken Kraus reporting, along with additional special coverage provided by Alden Corrigan and Paula Parisi.

Mary Hilton will offer thorough coverage from California for the Festival of Champions at The Oaks, hosting the USEF Olympic Dressage Trials. Terri Miller will provide her excellent photography.

We'll be in Lake Placid, New York, for two weeks of excitement in the Adirondacks.

Also, look for special reports and photos from HITS Saugerties and HITS Culpeper throughout the summer tour.

California coverage, headed by Kathy Hobstetter and Paula Parisi, includes the events at Oaks Blenheim, Showpark, Del Mar and Los Angeles. In August, PhelpsSports.com once again joins forces with the 2008 Menlo Charity Horse Show as a Platinum Sponsor, the second year in a row for this exciting partnership.

We've got Colorado covered with our reporter/photographer Lincoln Rogers providing the details from the Colorado Summer Classic shows in Larkspur, and from the Colorado series and the 2008 North American Young Riders Championship at Parker, Colorado.

PhelpsSports.com will also have on the scene reporting from the 2008 Samsung Super League Tour. This year's tour will determine which American riders will eventually make their way to the Olympic Games in Hong Kong. Erin Cowgill will provide the exclusive words and photos.

Also, we also look forward to bringing you some very exciting news regarding PhelpsSports.com and the CN Worldwide Global Champions Tour in the weeks ahead.

The highly popular writer Bjorn Van Bunder will continue to provide his unique outlook, reporting from the heart of the horse world in Europe.

At this year's Horse Shows by the Bay in Michigan, PS.com will have a full team on site, including great photos from Randi Muster.

As you might expect from PhelpsSports.com, our 2008 Olympic Games coverage will be complete, detailed and of course, timely. Look for the award winning reporting of Jennifer Wood, comprehensive reports from the world of Dressage's best writer, Mary Hilton, plus the unique perspectives of Jenny Ross, and great photos from Sue Stickle. PhelpsSports.com will cover every aspect of this year's Olympic Games in Hong Kong.

Additional events on the PhelpsSports.com calendar include the shows in Tyler, Texas, the Vermont Summer Festival, the Kentucky Summer shows, and full coverage of this year's American Gold Cup and North Coast Jumper Classic. Look for reports as well, from the Fidelity Jumper Classic at the new location in New Hampshire, the New Albany Classic, the Hampton Classic, and much, much more.

The fall tour as always, starts with the Capital Challenge, and includes Washington, The Syracuse Sporthorse Tournament and National Horse Show, Harrisburg, and winds up at the Royal in Toronto.

Also on the horizon, look for a brand new design for PhelpsSports.com.
