Well, horses are not smarter than dogs but they are smart in their own horsey way. Many steeplechase races do have cameras at integral points in the race, especially over the difficult hedges.
If you know anything of fox hunting, it's a more natural set up for the horses to jump over. I used to trail ride competitively and although there were no jumps, it was a timed event but no money was involved. Horseflesh was worth $$ for the good horses but it wasnt' integral to a winning animal.
There are a lot of competitive trail rides in your area, if you want I can look up a schedule and you are most welcome to watch the competitions.
