What's the most stupid /inappropriate prize you've ever won?

[SpruceRI]

I've won some strange things in my time but at a BE event last year where I came 5th, I won a magnetic plate - the sort for mechanics to put their nuts and bolts in so they don't roll away. Worth about £1.99 I guess? People placed 1st - 4th, and the 6th placed person won a saddlecloth - lucky them!!

Was really hacked off as thought my £60 entry fee might have deserved something slightly better - like a saddlecloth!!

Decided that the Sponsor could only stretch to 5 prizes and decided that that magnetic plate kicking around in the garage would do, and "oh who shall I give it to? The mug who came 5th"?

Having gone from the worst prize, (nearly ended up in the bin!) it's actually turned out to be a very useful piece of kit for putting my studs in. Everytime I get it out of the bag, I have a little chuckle!!!!!1

They are fantastic - I bought one for BBs last year at badders and it cost £10!

 

[Skhosu]

I think it may have been meant for studs?!
YOu get magnetic stud holders......sounds similar TBH!

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

A tin of paint

, 'orrible colour no wonder it was given away as a prize.........it's still in the garage I think, it'll never be used

 

[flyingfeet]

Hey quit moaning - at least there were prizes. Seem to be lacking at all the competitions I go to!

Plus that magnetic plate is actually sold for studs - you use it to stop 'em running away

Technically £2.99 guess that doesn't cheer you up......
ebay magnetic stud plate

 

[SpruceRI]

Yes, that's it. Exactly the same as that one. I've done them an injustice - £2.99!

I won a fire alarm once! It is useful, but a bit strange for a showjumping prize!

I won a weird shaped fleesey easibed hat last september and at the time i was like....humm yeah useful

! but it has kept me pretty warm through the winter, even if i look odd!

 

[I_A_P]

i won some nice pink stable bandages

still got them..never actually been used

not a bad prize though by any means

 

[mitchellk]

I once won a moody mare t-shirt, gave it to my sister hehe!

 

[tizer]

I won a leather headcollar, whats wrong with that I hear you say............ well it was at a BE event my horse is a big bird like me and at 16.3 she was never gonna fit into a PONY size!!! I suppose the thought was there, but also at same event I won the local riders prize and earlier in season the winner of local rider (living within 25 mile radius) had a bottle of champagne and rossette, I got a apple and a rossette!!!!!!!!

 

[icestationzebra]

Erm - I've won a mug!

 

[Hattikins]

i won a pack of playing cards several years ago!! and last year i won a MASSIVE polo shirt at a BE event, it looks like a dress on me and im never really going to be able to wear it

 

[wizzi901]

Dog food biscuits!!! in a horse class!

 

[Sparklet]

I've won a pigs leg before.....

 

[Oliviaandsparrow]

A whip. So your horse has just done fantastically for you... and they give you a whip. I know theyre useful but a bit imoral maybe?!

 

[Sarah_Jane]

A sack of feed. Can't remember what sort but totally inappropriate type of feed. The worse thing was I had to carry it from the prize giving back up a steep hill to the lorry park.

 

[dieseldog]

Do you know I think I won a bag of shavings once, I also had to carry it miles across the carpark.

From a pony club area quiz, a tennis goody bag.

Would be worth a lot of money to buy, but I have not the slightest interest in a wimbledon DVD, wimbledon books x2, wimbledon calendar, wimbledon hat, wimbledon tennis balls (used on centre court) and a wimbledon rucksack.

Any offers?
