I will give 10 pts to the first person to get full marks. If you'd like me to e-mail you your score and any corrections, please say so in your answers. Good luck!
People are getting really close to full mark, mostly getting 9/10.
A hint: one answer might seem incorrect and not what they Pony Club would say...
1 - A group of white hairs on the forehead
2 - Leopard spotted, blanket spotted and snowflake spotted.
3 - Flash, Drop, Grackle and Kineton
4 - Obvious answer is a snaffle - or a soft (ie rubber) straight bar (mullen mouth) if they don't like a jointed bit.
5 - GP, Dressage and Jumping
6 - Wouldn't have thought so, but many do it!!!
7 - The opposite to 'getting them up from grass' - After the season relevant to your activity has ended, you should not just turn them away - You should let their fittness and digestive system down gently!!
8 - Setting fair refers to when you are mucking out and bedding down a horse. You set it fair when you leave it looking tidy!!
9 - Dandy brush, body brush, curry comb, sweat scraper, hoof pick, water brush
10 - brushing, tendon, over-reach
