So what do you do...

The throws look like fun !!! I just pin mine to a wall board.

They're in a box under my bed :? I dont have anywhere in this little house I particularly want to hang them (wall space is severly limited and the place is cluttered enough) but I want to eventually have an office in the barn and I will hang them there along with my good tack. When I had a cork board in a previous house I used to pin up the most recent.

Mine are doing the rotting in a box thing right now. I need to take them out and iron them and put them in my office or the tack room. My daughter has hers hanging on her bedroom wall but she doesn't really like to show so she only has a few.

mine were hanging on one of my bookshelves, under the books i've already read, lol! I just shoved them under books, so they are hanging like a canopy down. I even made a little pattern. Except the big ones and the rosettes, those were hanging on top of one another on a door hook thingy. I don't have a ton, but I do like the ones i have. lots of pretty blue, but that wasn't hard in 4H

I know several people who make quilts/throws/blankets for the bed (or wall hanging) out of their show ribbons.

LOL what a wonderful problem to have :laugh1

I can find out if she's still making them, if ya want.[/b][/color]

That's cool Pam! What a nifty idea! Unfortunately, it would be more of a target for the cats :o LOL.
It's a neat problem to have ;) , but I'm still leaning towards a quilt. I only need about 500 more!

Wel,l with the way Frodo is cleaning up at the shows, that should be what...another week or so til you have enough :D

Take a curtain down, lay it totally flat and pin your ribbons onto it. Hang it back up.
That's an easy way to present them if you don't attaching them to a curtain or two :)

Oh hey Andrea... Lochinvar Pandora just had a palomino colt if you feel like repeating your successes with campaigning a prospective stallion! ;)

Um. No. I don't want to try to afford it! I'm finding how expensive showing is and these are only $12 classes. But put in stall fees, shavings, vet, and sweat... it's $300+ a show and that doesn't include the trailering fee, the handleing fee, and the monthly training. I don't want to think about doing it again! But I may to get one of my own prefix out there. Looking for a perfect buckskin colt to do it though.
Then there is the goal of getting one of the girls LOM. :o Poor, poor Mike. :laugh1

And the same amount of money. ;) (at $25.00 a sq ft) :mrgreen:

I threw mine away until we started the Dog Club, now I hand them over to be ironed (I do not do ironing ;) ) and then we stick our own little decal in the centre and give them out as prizes when someone goes up a class.
They love them, don't care what colour they are!!
You can donate them to Pony Club, I think people on LB do that.....
Honestly, over the years, I have won so many I could have turned them into wallpaper, let alone a throw (although that does look lovely) and then there were the dogs ones as well, so I gave up.
I did keep all the Supremes though, well, I kept all the ones form Rabbits last two years showing, anyway, and I think I have the Horse of the Year Show ones somewhere.....

Oh... that's it? I feel much better now because I thought the shows were much more expensive than that and thought you guys must be rolling in money! When I was working at an A circuit hunter barn we told clients to budget around $2,000 per show so they could be pleased when they sometimes came in a little lower than that. Now I just take my own clients to one-day shows and tell them to budget about $250. It's immensely more affordable. So, the Welsh shows are only as expensive as a schooling show? Amazing. I never knew! Maybe I'll renew my membership after all!

Yeah, these are just breed shows. But stack them up at two per weekend show and ouch... If I wasn't showing, we would just be paying bills, so who needs it right? :rofl So no. We're not rolling in it. I didn't think horses and "rolling in it" went hand in hand... More of a money pit situation. Though Frodo is winning the stakes classes for me... So woo hoo... $25! :laugh1

Heh, my old trainer's clients are, indeed, rolling in it. I have the kind of clients who are [i]merely[/i] upper middle class. :lol:
