Show a picture of a grey horse and ask them what the correct term is for that colour, same with piebald and skewbald/palamino.
Ask them to write down 3 different types of nosebands
Ask them to name 3 different types of native ponies
Ask where the cantle/pommel is on a saddle

The Pony Club used to do a little book of quiz questions. My riding club used to have a box of Trivial Pursuit type horsey questions for quizes, i think they came from a horsey charity.

If you have a bank of ponies they know (like a RS environment) list horse colours and ask them to name which pony is that colour.

Name a famous: Rider, Horse, Horse Race, 3-day event.

Ask them to draw school movements like 3-loop serpantines, 10m loops etc...
