Miguela's Tack Quiz

NPC Location: Rider.
Level: Intermediate.
Quest Points: 50.
Items Required: None.
Reward: $10000.
Notes:
1. When riding, you sit in this. Saddle.
2. This item of tack cushions your horse's back, absorbing impact from the saddle. Pad- or as they say it in some places, numnah!
3. This piece of headgear provides communication with your horse's mouth. Bridle.
4. And this metal piece affixes to the bridle; it is the piece that goes in your horse's mouth.  Bit.
5. This piece of tack is like a belt around your horse's barrel. It holds the saddle in place. Girth.
6. This leg wrap is used to protect against mild impact. It offers very little support. Polo wrap.
7. If you wanted more impact protection, you would instead use these. Splint boots.
8. If you wanted a piece of tack to protect against damage to the coronet band, or to help prevent your horse from stepping on his heels if he steps up well behind, you would use what kind of tack? Bell boots.
9. If your horse tends to lift his head to avoid the action of your hands, you might use this piece of tack, which connects to the noseband, to prevent him from doing this. Standing martingale.
10.  Now, if you were in a jumper class, or if your horse needed more freedom of motion than a standing martingale provides, you would instead use what related piece of equipment that attaches to the reins? Running Martingale.
Bonus: Irish Matringale.
