Displaying rosettes - how do you do yours?

[hussar]

This being a non-horsey household apart from me, my rosettes have been confined to our tiny downstairs loo, hanging on strings between nails. Now the loo's been redecorated and my rosettes are languishing in a box - I want to have them out again (especially as Senior Horse has now retired and won't be getting any more) but OH doesn't fancy the strings/nails scenario again. How do you guys display yours if you have them at home and not at the yard?

I have one wall which is covered in them; some are blutacked and others are hung onto staples which I stapled into the wall.

 

[ExRacers]

Have to say I am VERY self indulgent and pin mine to nice cork boards which are hanging in the kitchen so that I can look at them every morning when I am having my breakfast at the ungodly hour of 5.30am before going to do the 2 boys before work!!! It's nice to relive the good moments!!

 

[vivhewe]

I hung mine once by getting a load of plaiting bands and looping them through eachother to make a long string, then you can put the pin of the rosette through the plaiting bands.

You just have to find something to hang the top one off

Mine are all stuck in a box at the moment too though

- waiting til I get my stables up and then they're going in the tackroom!

I don't have very many cos I don't have a horse, so not much oppurtunity to compete.
But I've managed to fill up a notice board in my bedroom, some blu-tacked, the others hooked over old shoe laces between drawing pins

Mine live in a polythene bag somewhere - not sure why I bother to take them home as I never look at them again.

 

[Reashi]

I use a drawing pin to pin the top one to my wall, then thinner longer pins to pin each rosette to the tail of the one above it.

With my 'haul' from this season - all 15

We have bought one of those 'deep' box type frames from Ikea, have ordered my favorite photo of my girl from the summer and we are putting them all in the frame with 2006 on - will take a photo when we finally get around to putting them in!

 

[Oaksflight]

SJ I used to know did that, she had her best framed with professional photo. Mine are hung in between pirate flags all around my room, don't ask why, I haven't changed it since I was about 12!

I only display the current years and the rest are just stuffed in a box somewhere. Daughters are on string from picture to picture in her bedroom. But when I was younger. My dad hung a massive cirular rug on the wall. It was made out of like woven straw. And I put them on there with normal pins in a spiral starting in the centre of the rug with the nicesest biggest rosette and putting them in a spiral effect around this nice rosette working to the outside of the rug. It looked okay as only on 1 wall and kept them all together.

 

[SSM]

All my teenage years rossettes where in a trunk with all my 'possessions' at my mothers - she must have thrown everything in the trunk away as we found the trunk in the garage empty

(she had Alzheimers so will never know what happened to my big memory box)

 

[Mistyrocks]

I have them all one wall and then this years i have around a big frame with lots of pics of misty and they look funky!

 

[Alibear]

mine are all in tins packed away now.

 

[SSM]

Misty can you retype that so it makes sense

I think I get it, but not sure!

Thanks!

 

[burtie]

I have kept nearly every rosette I have won as I write the event, date and horse on the back, therefore they bring back memories. However the only ones on display are this seasons or very extra special ones.


Hannahs winners rosette form theHickstead Derby meeting is one that will always remain on display for instance!

 

[S_N]

All my old rosettes from my old horse and college comps. are in a box in the attic. This years (only 3) are on display though. B's 2nd at Devon County is on the corner of a picture frame of her at DC. Hector's First Premium from the BEF is on the framed certificate and the rosette that was awarded on Tuesday - is sitll in the truck

 

[kerrylou123]

Mine live in a show box, apart from the more recent ones which have been placed over a picture frame in my mum bedroom!

 

[Mistyrocks]

Mine are mostly on one wall. But this years rosettes are on another wall around a big frame filled with pictures of Misty..

 

[BroadfordQueen]

mine from this year are along the top of the huge mirror which is about 10ft long that is in our hallway. the rest from past years are in the loft!

 

[Snowberry]

Hattie has all of hers plastered all over her wall - all coloured co ordinated too!! She is running out of wall space now as Glen won over 120 rossettes last year

She;s also got a HUGE poster of Glen XC and Louis's only been out a couple of times and already has 25+rosettes

Becci has her 1st, 2nds and 3rd displayed along with all her trophies and medals. She's also got some nice pics on display

 

[peapod]

Mine are in a box at the moment, but I'm planning on getting some type of loosely woven netting to stick on the wall - and then hang the rosettes off!

 

[JessPickle]

I have a huge cork board in my room with them all on

 

[BroadfordQueen]

when i get my room redecorated (which is soon

) i am going to put them all on the wall above my desk, hanging on strings, with my trophies under them at the back of my desk if that makes any sense lol?

am getting a big painting on canvas done of eddie too for my birthday

 

[helenandshadow]

In a big box which is in the loft i think and recent ones are on a piece of string tied round my shelf brackets in my bedroom! haven't had many this year though!

 

[KatB]

Mine are hooked over my radiator in the summer, or around a picture board.

Havent won a single one this year though!!

 

[MrsMagoo]

Mine are all on the front of my radiator at the mo (got a cover on front with holes in) but will need to find a new home soon as running out of space - I like the idea of a deep frame with a picture.

I also write on the back of everyone the date/show/class etc so I can remember

 

[peterthepony]

Mine are all up on my bedroom well, except the ones that i got trophies with as they are in the trophis cabinet downstairs, and also have a few in the lorry and up the yard but mainly at home!

 

[MagicMelon]

Hung round my tack room (although Ive now reached my limit so have a big stash of this years rossettes with nowhere to go!) - I put up that green floppy garden mesh stuff or chicken wire and simply hang them off that. I have a section for each horse.

Trophies are kept in the house, gathering dust!

 

[SirenaXVI]

I have some strung along the window in the lorry - the remainder are up in the tack room. All old ones are in polythene bags in the garage - although I did sell some on ebay!
