What kind of terms are you going for?

I have a whole encylcopedia full, literally. I really don't want to go through and name all of those. If you run across something you don't know,  ask.

Answer 3

Here are some general terms:

Lunge: Someone attaches a long rope to the horse's halter and lets them run around the ring

Diagonal: Only in the posting trot. If the horse is on the right (correct) diagonal, it's outside front leg goes forward as the rider goes up.

Lead: Only in the canter. The inside front leg should go further out than the outside if you are on the correct lead.

Standard: The standers on a jump that have holes 3 inches apart to hold the poles.

Pole: The long, narrow piece of wood on a jump that adjusts to make the jump higher or lower. They fall if the horse touches them.

Box: A decorative box placed under a pole or alone that the horse jumps over.

Crossrail: Poles supported by the standards to make an X shape. The horse is supposed ot jump over the middle of the X.

Vertical: A jump that is in an H shape - the standards being the I and the pole(s) being the vertical line across. The poles do not cross. Boxes are normally used in verticals.

Buck: When the horse puts his head low and leaps upwards throwing his legs high.  

Rear: When the horse goes onto only his back legs, throwing his front legs into the air.

Girth: The band about 6 inches across that attathes to the saddle. It goes under the horse's stomach and attaches to the other side of the saddle. It keeps trhe saddle in place.

Farrier: The person who takes care of the horse's feet and shoes. The farrier fits ans attaches horseshoes.

Gelding: A "neutered" male horse that is physically incapable of reproducing. Geldings are usually less agressive than stallions and mares.

Mare: Any female horse or pony

Paddock: The fenced pasture that horses are put out into to graze and excercise.

Turnout: The time that a horse is "turned out" or put into a paddock to excercise.

Hand: The measuring unit for horses. 1 hand = 4 inches. 15.2 hh (hands high) is 62 inches.

Pony: Most Western horses under 14 hh are classified as ponies. English horses under 14.2 hh are classified as ponies.

Foal: A baby horse. A filly is a female foal, and a colt is a male foal.

Dam: The mother of a foal. Foals are "out of" the dam.

Sire: The father of a foal. Foals are "by" the sire.

Yearling: A foal is called a yearling after it's first birthday.

Answer 5

Okay, I'll go with parts of the bridle:

For English riding:

Bridle, what is used to control your horse while you're riding.

Headstall, the top of the bridle that hangs off your horse's head and attaches to the bit.  It has 4 parts, crown piece (goes behind the ears and normally has a throatlatch which goes under the cheeks and attaches on the left side with a buckle), brow band (goes over the forehead in front of the ears) and the sides of the crownpiece go through the loops on each side, and 2 cheek pieces that attach to the crown piece on both sides and the bit.

Bit, the part that goes into your horse's mouth and attaches to your headstall and reins.

Reins, what attaches to the bit and goes to the rider for control of your horse.

Cavesson, the nosepiece that goes under the headstall and attaches via it's crown piece to the headstall then the larger portion goes around the horse's bridge of it's nose and fastens under neath the bars.

If you're riding western, there's also a curb chain/strap that attaches to the bit and is used to help control your horse.  The cavesson is normally NOT used in western.
