Stop the barbaric practice of getting horses to jump fences in horse racing.

What the petition asks
This year's (2019) Grand National, 3 horses were destroyed and several suffered severe cuts when they fell after the jumps. I am petitioning to have all jumps and obsticles banned from all horse racing events.
There are videos showing the riders clearly wipping the poor horse when you can clearly see it has broken both front legs. This is 100% animal cruelty.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
