Brainfall: a model horse photo challenge

I cooked this list up back in February 2022. It is not actually a challenge, but more like a list of prompts/ideas of scenes which people could photograph about their plastic animals, barns, etc. I hadn't thought about publishing this, really, but I got a reason to and so... Here it comes. The list is copyrighted to me, Afuze. 

Note: This is not a competition. It can be compared to performance showing, but it is not performance showing, and you do not have to know about any discipline rules or anything. Many are just scenes and scenarios and they have nothing to do with competitions. I only want to give ideas for creative model photography.
- This list can be used so that you complete the list for one horse or then use which model you feel is the best for each step. It's up to you. The attempts can be humorous or serious, how you like, I don't limit it. Interpret these how you want. 

There also is no deadline. Take photos when you want and feel right to. They do not need to be taken in any specific order. 

The lists got numbered during spring 2023, so now I know there are almost 100 prompts... I could add more if I manage to cook up any.
