"in hand" (also known as "halter") is judging the horse on conformation (appearance).
The "English" breeds - Arabs, Saddlebreds, TB, hunter, etc - are more apt to use "in hand" terminology. It is judging the horse at a walk and trot. You walk and trot towards and away from the judge according to his/her directions. The horse must stand according to breed or type and remain standing in place for evaluation.

Halter is an in-hand (horse is led, no longer ridden) type that judges your horse's conformation. Showmanship is an in-hand type with a short trend that judges your potential to administration your horse and execute the trend properly. in case you're prepared to stroll/trot, maximum shows (all varieties) provide a walk/trot type. in the journey that your situation is your length, I doubt you're too enormous for him to very actual walk and trot with you, inspite of in case you look a touch hassle-free.

What kind of show?
If it's just "Halter" or Hunter Conformation - you'll set your horse up & the judge will come around. In the hunter classes, you'll have to jog.
In dressage in-hand classes, you'll set them up, then walk the triangle, then trot the large triangle, to show gaits.
