National Hunt racing

National Hunt racing, also known as jump racing, is a form of horse racing primarily in the UK and Ireland where horses compete over obstacles such as hurdles and fences. Races vary in distance, testing a horse’s agility, speed, and stamina. Jockeys aim to guide their horses efficiently through the course while clearing obstacles without faults. It's a traditional and popular sport that emphasizes skill, strategy, and the athleticism of both horse and rider. Unlike flat racing, National Hunt events often feature longer races and require specialized training for jumping.
