[edit] Merge Steeplechase to National Hunt
The article on Steeplechase (horse racing) is about National Hunt racing, so should be incorporated into this article.
[edit] Merge
I Agree that Steeplechase racing should be merged with National Hunt racing. Culnacreann 18:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
The two articles should be merged, as they are about the same sport, but the term "steeplechasing" is most commonly used in the United States (the governing association is called the "National Steeplechase Association") so that name should be retained, or both should be used.
- See american diction again (wiki is american biased, their own english language e.g. color not colour, gray not grey, so sub category Steeplechasing on the 'National Hunt' page and sign your comments) It's name is 'National Hunt' racing in the U.K. & Ireland where the overwhelmly majority of jump racing takes place (including France) Culnacréann

[edit] Merge
I agree that the different terms are used, but I think it's clearly the sensible solution to merge. SteveLamacq43 15:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NO MERGE - NOT THE SAME
They can't be merged. National Hunt is the Offical Name for jump racing in the UK.[ http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/horse_racing/2390215.stm] Steeplechase is a generic description that applies to all, including the UK's National Hunt. As such, the National Hunt has to remain a separate article defining it with a link/reference in the main Steeplechasing article. - Handicapper 16:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
