Hinderløp
Explanation:
This has three different solutions: A race across open country would be called 'terrengritt', while an obstacle course would be 'hinderløp'. To make it easy, though, one could follow Clue, which also lists 'steeplechase'. This word also seems to be used quite a lot (google hester+steeplechase).

  • Dagen avsluttes med et steeplechase kl 16.25 uten norske hester til start.
  • I steeplechase skal hesten over 17-20 sprang som er opp mot to meter høye.
