There are points all over the horses body, such as the loins, the stifle, the crest, the withers and the barrel. These can be located by images, keys or just general knowledge. Here is a list, written from my general knowledge, of just where these points are- (They go in order from the head, around the body and joining up again):
(Picture a horse in your head or find a picture of one- if you are revising, it helps to point to the parts.)
The poll: Placed in between the ears on the ridge of a horses neck.
The forelock: The horse's fringe.
Bridge of nose: The bow of the horse's nose.
Muzzle: The soft flesh on the end of a horses face, forming two nostrils and strong-muscled lips.
The chin groove: The space between the chin and the throat latch.
Throat latch: The throat of the horse.
Neck: The horse's neck.
Chest/Breast bone: The strong-muscled space forming out into two legs at the front of the horse.
Forearm: The top part of a horses leg.
Knee: The horse's joint between two leg bones.
Fetlock: The joint connecting the hoof to the cannon.
Cannon: The bone between the knee and the fetlock.
Hoof: The horse's foot- containing a soft fleshy pad called the frog.
The frog: A triangular fleshy pad inside the horses hoof.
The chestnut: A bald, stiff bobble of skin placed inside the horse's upper knee.
The elbow: The horse's elbow is placed on the upper leg.
The girth: The flat muscle between the barrel and the elbow.
The barrel: The muscled ribcage of the horse.
The belly/abdomen: The horses stomach, where food is digested.
Flank: The stretch of skin between the abdomen and the thigh.
The thigh: The large pad of muscle found on the rear of the horse.
The stifle: Found on the lower part of the thigh.
The gaskin: The lower thigh muscle, underneath the stifle.
Hock: The joint connecting the leg to the thigh, under this- another chestnut is located.
Pastern: The joint connecting the hoof to the leg.
Coronet: the band of muscle/skin around the top of the hoof.
Buttock: You guessed it.
Dock: The bone in a horse's tail.
Croup/Rump: The hindquarters of a horse.
Point of hip: The point of a horses hip.
Loin: The dip forming into the horses back.
Back: The centre of the spine.
Withers: Where the saddle, saddle-pad/numnah and rider are placed when riding.
Crest: The slight bend in the horses neck- joining to the poll, and tehn the head.

Do Horses earn points after shows?
Horses earn points during the shows.Not after. When a horse enters in a halter show, the horse can win points for looking clean and well groomed. If you were in say a jumping class, a horse would get points for doing the wrong things. These "points" are called "faults." If a horse knocked a pole from the fence, the horse would get a fault. A fault though is really 4 points instead of one. So if the horse knocked down 2 fences, that would be 8 faults. And so on going up by four. But you DO NOT get points in a good or bad way when you're out of the ring.
