No you do not. You can use a leather girth with no fleece if your horse goes well in that. However synthetic girth are typically frowned upon for showing as they do not look 'good enough' for the show ring. Use which ever type of girth is most comfortable for your horse.
What is the difference between hack pony and a Galloway?
The Galloway is a now extinct pony of the mountain type. They were absorbed into the Fell and Dales pony breeds and looked very similar to both. As for the Hack pony, there are two versions of this, a true hack pony and 'Hack' as in a shortened form of Hackney pony, which are two different things. A hack pony is like a smaller version of a hack horse which is a type of lightweight riding/show horse used in the UK. They are supposed to be very well mannered and a smooth ride. A Hackney pony on the other hand was primarily developed as a light carriage/harness pony with highly elevated and flashy movements.

Why do horses wear polo wraps?
People place polo wraps on horses in order to protect their legs. Because a horse has no muscles in its lower legs (only bones and tendons), it is very easy for them to damage their legs. Any damage to legs can take a while to heal and if severe enough could actually cripple a horse.
Because polo wraps are usually a thick cotton or fleece like material, they protect the horse from knocks that they may cause with their own hooves (like if they step on their back legs while running). Polo wraps must be properly placed on the horse though. If they are wrapped too high or too low on the leg, they can cause damage. If they are wrapped too tight, they can cause damage and if they are wrapped the wrong direction (clockwise), they can put too much pressure on the tendon and damage it!
What grooming is required after removing the saddle from a horse?

Well, bridles are used for when you are riding. Most have bits, although there is one type called a bosal that uses no bit. Bridles also have reins to hold while riding. You can use a halter like a bridle on a horse, just using the halter and a lead rope, but you cannot attach a bit so it can be very UNSAFE. When riding, you should always use a bridle. Halters are made to lead horses from place to place.
What is the difference between a halter and bridle?
Halters are used to handle your horse on the ground. You attach lead ropes to halters. They do not have bits (the metal part of a bridle that goes in the horse's mouth). When you are riding, a bridle is used. It has a bit that goes in the horse's mouth to help control it. Also, the straps on a bridle are made to control a horse.
