There are classes for every level of rider. From lead line (were someone walks and trots with you holding your horse) to 3'6 jumping courses.
I am a horse-rider myself but I personally would suggest that you ask your local riding school
Depends on the show. We have open shows and have contests such as an egg stomp and leading a horse. You need only to not hurt the horse to be welcomed! Within a few days you could at least be there and show.

For want of a nail the show is lost, for what of a show the horse is lost, for want of a horse the rider is lost, is part of a famous quote. This quote was by Benjamin Franklin.
Equitation is the art or practice of horse riding or horsemanship. More specifically, equitation may refer to a rider's position while mounted, and encompass a rider's ability to ride correctly and with effective aids. Inhorse show competition, the rider, rather than the horse is evaluated. Such classes go by different names, depending on region, including equitation classes, rider classes, or horsemanship classes.
it really depends on the judge and the show, but most are judged on the horse more than the rider. the horse should be alert and interested in the rails, but should not be excited and jump them as if they were a three foot fence.
This would depend on what competition is taking placeRoping - horse & rider run after cows/calves in western saddles & the rider trys to rope themHeading/Heeling - 2 horse & rider teams try to catch a steer by roping the neck & back legs at same timeBarrel Racing - horse & rider run around 3 or 4 barrels (depending on competition location) in the fastest time w/o knocking the barrels overShow Jumping - horse & rider have to clear a certain pattern of jumps w/o knocking any poles/jumps down the fastestDressage - Horse & rider have a certain pattern to perform at set gaitsThey are more!!!

Just let her know you are both good riders. Don't brag. Say to her may the best rider win. Practice and invite her to your practice so you know how good you have to be !
A controlled gallop used to show a horse's ground-covering stride in horse show competition is called a "gallop in hand" or a hand gallop.The rider is up out of the saddle in a 'two point' position and the horse remains on a balanced even but open stride.
The person who rides a horse would be called either a equestrian or horse rider, but if the person only rides in shows, they may also be called show riders.
