My horse has a fear of banners that are tied to the arena so when it comes to competing in arenas Showjumping it's a bit of a nightmare!

Looking for some banners to help her despook at home, she particularly has a problem with white banners!

No idea where I can get any banners from, was thinking feed suppliers might have some, not sure where else to look :-(
 
Either ring some of the major feed suppliers direct or have a word at your local tack shops to see if they have any old ones they don't use anymore.
 
My instructor has just rigged up a faux-banner using swimming pool liner as they are in the process of pulling theirs up!! Not sure how easy it is to get hold of but works a treat ;) how about a bit of tarpauline?
 
a few years ago i had a similar issue and so i emailed a load of feed/tack companies to ask for banners and some sent me them! :) Dodson and Horrell, Baileys, Naf/ Woof Wear/ Allen and Page/ Saracen...off the top of my head :D
not sure if they normally do that but a polite email can't do any harm

otherwise try asking at your local pub- often they have old banners that they don't use anymore :)

Go to your local tesco petrol store, ask for their old promotion banners.

^^ This. Try asking at customer services too - or.... you've seen the girls who wander round with the little hand-held zappers checking the shelf labels? - ask them - certainly in one of the big 4 they also put up/take down a lot of the promotional stuff so will know where it's all stashed. There will be loads of easter ones getting thrown out before Monday.
 
You can also try car dealerships they always have old promo banners

or if you want to have your own made up go to www.motormode.com they can make them to your own design or send you blank ones!
 
I use children's plastic party table clothes as fillets. I'm sure you could rig those up and they are cheap and cheerful too :)
 
If you go to a big supermarket I'm thinkin the one with bright green and black uniform and famous for the pocket slap.(Can't name them as could get into trouble) and ask to speak to the POS colleague (go before 12 they generally finish then.) They look after all the promotional stuff so should be able to sort you some stuff out. Banners/old displays that can be used as fillers that kind of thing. Not all stores will do it but most will. x
