Costumes for horses... these were for cross-country course:
A Knight in shining armor is fun and fairly easy if you are handy. Helmet can be covered with lame or some such fabric, Tapaderos made with batting and lame; Splint boots in shiny black for horses, Silver hoof paint, Medieval saddle cloth, breastplate, and reins, Lame Headgear (made like sleazy sleepwear) ...the possibilities are endless!
Zorro is a good one... easy and the cape is awesome over fences.
A Bumble bee rider is cute... horse has flowers in mane, tail and on saddle pad. This one won best costume.
it varies, depending on the 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.
That is called a show horse.
Olympia
Most likely a short name for a horse that's plug-ugly.
Break & Out class is simply 'Simon Says' on horseback. This class is usually seen at playdays/fundays and not regular horse shows.

One of the easiest places to get zombie costume ideas is from your favorite zombie show or movie. Watch the show or movie and note how your favorite zombies look and act. Most have worn out or torn clothes which can be readily achieved by modifying some of your older clothes. If ideas are needed on how to apply make-up to look like a zombie a self-help website or youtube will provide some insight.
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.
I believe that a good Halloween costume might be a character of the kid's favorite show. For example, if he likes the Power Rangers, he can dress up as his favorite one.
