I'm sorry...I really did try to think of easier ones.....
in answer to you....yes, they are oxers...anything with any kind of spread is an oxer...the first is called a hogsback oxer...as it is one height in front,then higher in the middle,then the back rail is same height as the first...(they usually take it down with their hind feet as they cannot see the back rail,the second is a swedish oxer...being of equal height on the outside and lower in the center forces them to jump straight...

For a foot in the water it is 3 faults...it is not a rail down...but is still infringing with the jump....

the items placed on the shoes are called Caulks"...they are like an athletes cleats on their shoes...so they dig into grass or mud for traction...wet grass can be like ice....especially first class of the morning...just helps them get their footing...

on their bridles for spooks...you can use what is called a "Shadow Roll"....it is a piece of fleece that wraps around the noseband(Cavesson) they can't see over it so they soon forget about those Nasty shadows on the ground....

O.K.
Last one...(I thought that this was the only hard one)....but I thought that you might get it,to this day he is still the announcer at Ox Ridge....
