Moonlight Steeplechases?

[clipclop]

I was just chatting to a friend and I remembered doing a "Moonlight Steeplechase" on my old horse. It must have been about 14 years a go.

It seemed that around here every Hunt and most Riding Clubs used to run them.

Do they still run anywhere?

If not, why not?

I have just finished a book that culminated in a Moonlight Steeplechase.

Tongue in Cheek by Fiona Walker - thoroughly recommend it!

I was tempted to take Zara, but then thought better of it and decided that the drinking and eating side would be better for my health.......
