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.
A plug at a horse show is called a "filler." It is a horse or pony that is entered in a class to ensure there are enough competitors to hold the class. Fillers are typically lower-quality animals or those not competitive in the class.
That is called a show horse.
The Olympia Horse Show and the London International Horse Show are two famous horse shows held in London, England. These events attract top riders from around the world and feature a variety of equestrian disciplines.
Pat Brady's horse in the TV show "The Roy Rogers Show" is named Trigger.
The height of obstacles in an open class horse riding competition varies depending on the level. In general, open classes can range from 2’6” to 3’9” for lower levels and up to 4’ or higher for more advanced levels. Riders should be prepared to jump a variety of heights within these ranges.
Break & Out class is simply 'Simon Says' on horseback. This class is usually seen at playdays/fundays and not regular horse shows.

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).
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.
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.

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.
