Description
Point-to-point racing is an amateur version of National Hunt racing or the Steeplechase. It is a very popular sport in Ireland. The name point-to-point refers to the points of the church steeples that the horses used to follow during a race. Nowadays, the difference between point-to-point races and steeplechases is that point-to-point races are run cross country, while steeplechases tend to be run on tracks.
Races are usually 3 miles long with a minimum of 18 obstacles that are 4 feet 6 inches in height!

Wow, what a dynamic and atmospheric painting, expressing all the excitement and danger of thousand-pound animals at high speed! Reminds me of family stories of Gobbler's Nob, a red steeplechase horse someone gave to my dad once. He ran away with my brother! As a kid I thought his name was Gobbler Snob. He is legendary, like the fabulous horses in your outstanding painting! fav

That cracked me up Dawn, 'Gobbler Snob'! Thank you for the wonderful comment. I am happy I reminded you of 'family stories'.
