I've kept all of the ones I got with my first boy - they're on a cork board in my parent's house.

All of Jerry's are hanging on my mirror frame - even the clear round and "special" ones :D

Mine are currently 'displayed' in binbags in my dad's garage :rolleyes::D

I do have some of our trophies on a windowsill here; and a massive one I won last year makes a useful doorstop!

Display the current year's, ditch all the others as they become dust traps from the past. Many a school or charity riding group will gladly take them from you and you can put a smile on someone elses face with them, including your mum's if she has to clean them for you as well.
Go on recycle the old ones you know you want to.

Mines are displayed in a box. Had them hanging around lampshades for a while. Or I give them to nieces/nephews. One it killed me to do but I figured as I got my aunts from that big show at her age I should be traditional and give it to my niece

I keep the ones that mean the most - the 1sts (although I have very few of those) The first one that particular horse has won and the sashes, the rest I give to my local RDA group who give them out after lessons, which is a lovely thing for them to do. :)

I use garden wire mesh to hold my rosettes. You can just about see it in the first picture:-

Thats a fab idea - so simple! May pinch it..

I have a few on strings, but most are in the shed in a box - some of them are nearly thirty years old but I can't bear to throw them away. They were much smaller in those days!!

The RDA groups are delighted to receive your unwanted Specials / Clear Rounds etc as the children love to get them. Please don't bin them!

Please donate any unwanted rosettes to your local riding centers.

It doesn't cost much money or take time for the riding establishments to replace the center of the rosette and the kids love getting rosettes. Replacement centers can be bought from Ebay and even the rosette manufactures and cost a few pence each.

You lucky bunch of people who are always in the ribbons and "box up" or bin unwanted rosettes please think about giving them to a new home!!!

I used to pin mine on Cork boards with a frame and they got hung up on the wall

Any champions or reserve champions or special ones went on the mantle piece

When I gave up riding for a few years they were stashed in a box and my athletics medals were put on the boards although it's now back to rosettes :D

I have 6 corkboards full around the house, 3 lines of bailer twine strug up covered in them and the rest are randomly stashed on bookcases and any other available space lol! I have over 1000 rosettes - everything from clear rounds to championship rosettes to racing BTO's! I really should sort them all out and so something other than gather dust with them.

not read all replies so someone may have said it already. you know the light wooden trellis things that you get to put on your fence for climbing plants. I always used those for the rosettes. they are lightweight so easy to hang on the wall.

Oh my goodness I have extreme envy of all the blinding pretty colours! I have none :-( this year, oh yes it will happen!! I've got a big blank wall that needs to be filled with minor achievements, I hope they do rosettes for 'its the taking part that counts'!

This summer The Appy did well at the breed show, so my sister very kindly bought me a box frame, we have put the two rosettes, our number and the page from the schedule which showed our classes in it. It is now on the living room wall next to the pro picture from the day :)

Old ones are in drawers and spare spaces all over the house.

Ones won with the noble steed (had him 18 months) are on a cork board in the kitchen. I have space for one more ... very annoying; our last event last year was cancelled and I wanted to start a new board from our first rosette of 2013!

I get very annoyed by odd-shaped rosettes ... messes up my nice tidy date-order display :D

hi, I had the same problem but now I just buy cheap second hand picture frames take the glass out of them and and use staples to secure plastic netting from a garden centre to the frame so you can hang the frame on the wall and hook or clip the rosettes on them :) I find it allot cheaper than buying rosette holders. I have five of them and they hold approx 300 rosettes :)

Mine are all pinned up around the top of my tack room walls, and the overspill are now pinned on the staircase in the tack room. They make a huge difference - it really brightens the place up.

I'm terrible I don't even collect them half the time if I do they end up in bucket or if anyone I see kids going about I give them to them.

I have kept some nice sashes , they shoved in a cupboard somewhere. Same with dressage tests sheets, read then binned.
