Steeplechase
The steeplechase, a form of horse racing, earned its name from early races in which orientation of the course was by reference to a church steeple. Horses would jump fences, ditches and whatever intervening obstacles they encountered in the countryside. The term "steeplechase" is now used to refer to a distance horse race with a diversity of fence and ditch obstacles. The most famous is the Grand National, which is held each year at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.
