You would expect older horses, waiting while a judge judges you all on your performance and your horses overall health
It is a type of horse show that has many classes, and in some of the classes you do, you show that your horse can be versatile and do many different things. eg. veteran classes, (which is where you show how good your horse is for their age - over 15's only), you show that your horse can do lots of things even though he is considered an old horse.
Break & Out class is simply 'Simon Says' on horseback. This class is usually seen at playdays/fundays and not regular horse shows.
it varies, depending on the show!!
yes, you can but it will take most the day. it would be easier to bathe your horse/pony at the show then groom them and braid there mane/tail at the show a couple hours before (MAKE SURE TO PICK THERE HOOVES OUT BEFORE YOU RIDE AT THE SHOW EVER CLASS).
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.
Well a bridle path is located behind the ears of a horse and is shaved for a neater look and so the halter or bridle fits better. Western Pleasure is a show class that is judged mostly on the horse. You also ride the horse in this class.
showjumping, jumpers, and flat classes (no jumping, just walk trot and canter).

The Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show is the biggest Arabian Horse Show in the world.
It depends on the show. For some in-hand or lunging classes, your horse can be a yearling, or even younger. For most riding classes, your horse will need to be at least 3 years old, and some require the horse to be 5 or even older. Sorry for being to vague, but it depends on the show and the class, so i really can't give you a direct answer. If you asked a more specific question perhaps I could help you better.
If you have a registered horse (a horse with pedigree papers) you pay an entry fee to be in the "huntseat class". There is usually a pattern to run with certain heights of jumps. (Quarter Horses max. height is 3 1/2 feet tall.) A Judge will judge both you and the horse on your performance. If it is good enough you will "place". Usually 4, sometimes 5 placesare awarded. Points are earned according to what place and how many other horses are in the class. The above answer is for a hunter or equitation class, not a Show jumping class. for show jumping you can either enter through a breed association assuming you have a specific breed of horse. Otherwise you will need to register with a show association and get an exhibitors or competitor's card. Once that is done, you should ensure the horse is fit and properly trained. Most of the time you can find a list of shows on the associations website and enter from there.
A Hunter.-------------------------A horse that is used for Show Jumping is called either a Jumper or a Show Jumper.-------------------------------This would be an english ridden horse. "Show Jumper" is the horse. Show Jumping would be the competition it competes in.
