Halloween camp ideas

Going to have a Halloween camp/party for my students this weekend. Help me out with ideas for games and prizes.
I have a costume contest planned. I usually get some horsie prizes and candy to give away. I have a Dover and a tractor supply near by, any ideas for prizes under around $10? What some other Halloween fun we can have with a horsie theme? I have 4 hours worth of time to fill.

My kid and her barn friends love to set up jump courses and jump them themselves. They can create it, set it up, and then race each other.

Fun prizes that are cheap - grooming tools, lead ropes, horse treats. For a grand prize maybe a cool halter or saddle pad. If these are lesson students who don’t own their horses, I’d only give these types of prizes if you’ll let them use it on the schoolies. Nothing like getting excited about winning a cool colorful brush and then having no way to use it. Halloween or horse stickers. Horse themed keychains, notepads, etc you see in gift section of tack stores.

Boot socks are a great prize.

Dover has quite a few that are under your $10 limit and some three packs that are more, but can be split into three separate prizes, so end up being much less.

You could do apple bobbing for the kids and horses. For games, it really depends on what your schoolies will tolerate, but ride a buck, command class, and mounting bareback with no step stool are always fun.

If you have any property or trails the kids can ride on, my Carriage Club does what they call a Safari Drive.
You hide stuffed animals along the trails & drivers/riders mark off each one as they spot them - kind of like a Scavenger Hunt.
