Rosettes - asking for help!

[Aces_High]

Right.... as you all know I am going to be heading off to Egypt next month.

I have decided that my aim for the time that I am there is to encourage the children to connect with their animals. I am going to take out snazzy head collars, lead ropes, child size body brushes and hoof picks. What I would like to also do is run a little competition for the children at the end of my time there. I would love to reward them with a rosette each as well. So my question is.... What do you all do with your rosettes? If you throw them away, please can I be cheeky and ask for them to be sent to me? I was going to buy some but a friend has just said I should first see what other people do with theirs.

Thank you very much and any tips from anyone who teaches children will be gratefully received. I want to make it fun and educational and get a bond forming between the equine and the child.

What a great idea. If you pm your address I will send you some. Let me know how many you'd like. I'm a bit of a hoarder and can't bear to throw them away !!!

pm me I will look through and see what I have, they are cluttering the lorry mainly so would be good to have a use for them.

Most children love simple games, I often place objects like brushes around the school, on the fence, on top of wings, make mazes with poles, a small jump anything that they can use as an obstacle they then have to ride round doing tasks on the way such as picking up the brush placing in in a different spot, without dropping it, go through the poles without touching them. This can amuse them for a while, they can be competitive if you want by timing the rounds and giving penalties for any errors.

At Easter the brushes are replaced with chocolate

The usual bending races etc are great fun too.

Ahh here is another I can also help with, we have lots of unused odds and end rosettes in the PC branch. Some say special, some say clear round others have placings I can ask our rosette holder to let me have any that don't form a set and send them on to you. You have my email so just let me know the address I can send them too.

NR - this is where I really lack.... I am in a complete muddle in trying to link people from here to the real world when it comes to Cairo Farrier! I will need a little more of a clue Were you bidding on the Mark Smith lot?!! I am loving your grey horse - very smart.

Be Positive - thank you very much for fabulous information and ideas. I think games like that will be inspirational for them. I will ping you a PM with my address. Many thanks again everyone
