Ban jumps races such as the Grand National.
It's time to end this cruel, barbaric sport which serves only to make rich people richer whilst animals are exploited.
BHA figures show that, from 1994 to 2018, 4,905 horses died on British racecourses. At the annual Aintree Festival, which the Grand National is a part of, 48 horses have died since 2000. And three horses died at last month’s Cheltenham Festival. A further three horses died at this year's Aintree festival.
