💨 Abstract

The 2025 Grand National Festival saw the death of horse Willy De Houelle during the Juvenile Hurdle, adding to the 88 horses that have died in the race since its inception in 1839. Despite safety improvements, the sport of steeplechasing remains risky with an average of four deaths per 1,000 horses participating, according to the British Horseracing Authority (BHA).
