Jump Racing

Jump racing, also known as National Hunt racing, is a form of horse racing where horses compete over longer distances while clearing obstacles such as fences and hurdles. It takes place mainly in the UK and Ireland and involves skilled horses and jockeys navigating challenging courses designed to test speed, agility, and endurance. The races can be quite unpredictable due to the obstacles, adding an element of strategy and excitement. Unlike flat racing, jump racing requires specialized training for horses to safely and effectively jump over hurdles or fences, making it a unique and traditional aspect of the sport.
