Abstract: Let $G$ be a connected reductive group acting on an irreducible normal algebraic variety $X$. We give a slightly improved version of local structure theorems obtained by F.Knop and D.A.Timashev that describe an action of some parabolic subgroup of $G$ on an open subset of $X$. We also extend various results of E.B.Vinberg and D.A.Timashev on the set of horospheres in $X$. We construct a family of nongeneric horospheres in $X$ and a variety $Hor$ parameterizing this family, such that there is a rational $G$-equivariant symplectic covering of cotangent vector bundles $T^{*}Hordashrightarrow{T}^{*}X$. As an application we get a description of the image of the moment map of $T^{*}X$ obtained by F.Knop by means of geometric methods that do not involve differential operators.
