It's sad, really. 370 horses die each year in the UK from steeplechasing.
It's actually a quite stupid discipline of riding, that really goes aganist laws of physics. If your running full speed at a jump as tall as you, and you do this for a good 5 minutes flat, your going to fall, your going to get hurt, your going to break a bone, and for a horse, that means euthanization.
we should let the horses run the race themselves they don't even need riders ha ha (jk) that one horse stayed in third place forever they sure look like they know what they are doing 5 finished without riders
Yeah i know, like how can people do that? how can they expect a horse to jump when its running almost at max speed, can people do that? No, so maybe they should think again!
この第1回京都ハイジャンプは確か最多落馬頭数(7頭?)を記録している(あまり良い記録ではないが)。

Well they were dropping like flies!
I agree with Arasha08 it is a stupid sport!
Horses need to Get the hind quarters underneath themselves in order to jump high not stretch out in a flat strap gallop!
Unfortunatly its a stupid sport that has an enormus turnover so they will never ban it !

Redefine "enjoyable" for me now.

I agree, steeplechase racing is too dangerous for both horse and rider alike. It should be banned. Indeed, flat racing is dangerous enough as it is.
