How do you display your rosettes?

I've recently started showing and I've got quite a pile of rosettes. I purchased a rosette holder but it only holds about 15 which isn't enough room unfortunately.

I'd like something neat that keeps them safe.

Pictures if you have them :)
 
if theyre 'special' rosettes I mount them in a large photoframe alongside a pro photo taken on the day they were won. Otherwise they go on a string along the top of the wall in my bedroom until the seasons over, then in a box :o
 
Ours are hung on a wall for the season. After that we only keep the 1sts, Championships, Sashes and anything special for any reason, they go in a box.

I refuse to have boxes of "special" or "clear round" cluttering the house and garage, the horses stuff does a good enough job of that.

That said I still have a "clear round" my oldie, then 34 won in the yard charity showjumping :D :D
 
If you get some 5-6"wide lace you can hang it from a dowel with a string and this gives plenty of space to hang rosettes in a tower up the wall.

LOL, I knew what you meant. Its a good idea for the really special stuff.

Trouble is in our house my daughter wins the really good stuff. My idea of special is anything my oldie wins :D :D Dont know how we co-exist really, she laughs at his achievements.
 
Here are some of mine :o :D I have some of the better ones, 1sts or champions or rosettes from bigger shows hung up separately :)

One day she will realise that the oldies are where its at. THEY ARE SO COOL.
 
The ones won in the current year go on a string on the wall above the photos and stuff from that year.

Al, for her 'special' rosettes she has several montages like this she made up on various walls in her bedroom. The rest of hers are either strung up around the the ceiling or in bags under her bed (she's been competing since she was 7, is now 17... No rosettes have ever been binned- there are many!).

For me, aside from the special ones which are on a bit of string here in my uni room they live under my bed in bags :)
 
My sister bought me a cork board, to put in the kitchen, as a joke after I had taken the Current Appy to a show and we won a rosette :D It has now become the norm for any that either of us win to be pinned on the cork board. What they are for is written on the back, which horse, which rider and when. I don't think we have taken any down and the ones on the bottom layer are invisible now. Ours include fancy dress winners :D
Bob the not a cob, could you not get Mike to enter you in the handsome horse class? I'm sure you could win that and would not have to rely on him at all :D :p
 
Mine are in my horses stable :)

When he got his first 2 at the age of 3 he did try to munch/play with them so they then hung up in my bedroom for a few years. For the past 2/3 years they've been in his stable and I think he quite admires them!!
 
I used to hang them in my bedroom when I was younger with the championships in the kitchen, fast forward 9 years and when O/H and I bought a house he is very unhorsey and won't h e anything to do with my horse, they have been relegated to the drawers including my championships and sashes. :): :):

I do still have my early rosettes including my first "special" won 38 years ago :D :D
 
I keep the special ones ie first clear round. First county show, championships etc. The rest I give away to neices, mates daughters etc.
 
Daughter has a string running around her room at the height of a picture rail & she hooks them onto that. Thats for the nice & 'special' (:D) ones, the rest are just boxed up. Can't throw them away!!

I can send you one for 'putting up with Mike' if you like. Think that would be well deserved too :D

I gave bags of mine to the cubs, they made mothers day rosettes out of them. Very well received too:D
 
Mine, at the moment, are on a rosette display which holds 25-30 depending on size. Unfortunately this isn't a long term idea as the display costs a fair bit of money, I've seen them beautifully hung using string but I'd have no idea where to start as some of my rosettes have bridle clips and some have pins.
