I found a timber horse by Indian Ridge:

Ebanour (Ire). 2007 ch. g., Indian Ridge (Ire)—Ebadiyla, by Sadler’s Wells.

I consider that a good sign.[/QUOTE]

While you are at the NSA website, watch some of the videos of the races and you’ll see the difference between hurdles and timber. The big timber races are the Maryland Hunt Cup and the Grand National, but the Iroquois also has a timber race, as do many of the other meets.

Yes, the difference is very clear between hurdles and timber.
The horse on the left is Ebanour:

There are quite a number of Indian Ridge / Ahonoora line horses for sale in National Hunt sales:

Maybe this horse will turn out to be a nice eventer.

Many many hurdlers also jump timber. Hurdle racing is generally faster than timber and the reason the horses must jump flat. Most hurdle horses are also schooled to jump timber and jump it well. They’re smart horses and adjust their style to the requirements of speed and type of jump.
