I think that this is so cool! I'm a horse lover. And I think that everything is cool if it's got a horse involved with it. But I'm really for real with this. I've always have been dreaming of getting a horse and being a race horse star and breaking secretariet's world record and being rich after being that good.

@doglover2112 Basicially the term "steeple chase" came around a few hundred years ago when English huntsmen races, usually in pairs, from church steeple to church steeple, as these were the tallest and most visible landmarks in the 1700's, through forests, ploughed land, rivers ect. these races evolved to watch we have today, long races over large, stiff fences and unlevel ground. a good example is the Parpucide and the Grand National. watch some Grand National clips on here- its awesome!

O K you unwashed masses call it a cross country. That's a steeplechase. Over plowed fields,trenches etc. See great Pardubice Steeplechase,Great Liverpool Steeplechase Everyone in Europe,who was ever interested in a horse racing knows,the differnce. If in doubt ,read books by Dick Francis. He knows what hi is talking about. A jokey for the Queen.
