NATIONAL HUNT
National Hunt racing is a form of horse racing where runners are required to jump either hurdles or fences (known as chases). It also includes National Hunt Flat races, commonly referred to as “bumpers”, which are run without obstacles. The National Hunt season takes place primarily during the autumn, winter, and spring months, building toward major festivals such as the Cheltenham Festival, Aintree Festival, and Punchestown Festival. The season features some of the biggest races in the world, including the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the iconic Grand National.
