Chase and Steeplechase are the same thing. Steeplechasing involves the jumping of larger obstacles which can include ditches, water jumps and regulation fences. Hurdles are much smaller and thinner obstacles. Most horses start off running in hurdle races and move on to steeplechase races as they get older and more experienced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steeplechas… http://en.wikipedia.
