Under a grandfather clause, pre-existing sanction courses may retain use of natural fences. The picturesque Montpelier race course near Orange will in 1993 be the only course to utilize natural hedges for jumps in hurdle races, as the Iroquois Steeplechase in Nashville, Tenn., is switching from hedges this year.
Hurdles are four feet high, four and a half feet wide at the base and built in eight-foot sections. Four to five sections make up obstacles which are placed about every l/6th of a mile.
CLIP HEELS — If a horse runs up on the heels of another, he runs the risk of clipping heels and stumbling or going down. Riders try to avoid this by allowing racing room, though green or determined riders often imperil the field by racing at very close quarters. A spectator can tell a horse has clipped heels if the second horse hesitates and bobbles.
