POINT-TO-POINT

A point-to-point is a cross-country horse race run between a start and an end point, with the actual route taken left to the individual riders' discretion. A famous point-to-point race takes place every Boxing day in the New Forest, Hampshire, with the end points revealed to the riders only when they have assembled and been escorted to the start point and the race is about to start.
