A number of people have posted or e-mailed to ask where they can find 2008 Olympic equestrian souvenirs. Many of us here in Hong Kong are asking the same question. The Beijing Olympics organizers have done a stand-up job on nearly everything here in Hong Kong, but they seem to have overlooked the merchandising cash cow that is Olympic souvenirs.

Sport-specific Olympic pins, which are always in demand for collecting and trading, are practically nonexistent at the equestrian-venue merchandise outlets. Polo shirts? Practically nil. T-shirts? Nope. Hats? Not much. Mugs? Sorry
