Where do you dislay your rosettes?

We have the newish ones on a wall in the conservatory as the tack room is a bit damp and they would get mouldy there. I'd like to have somewhere to put the other boxes of rosettes that we have going back 30 years so that I could reminisce as I always write on the back the date we got them and what horse/pony won it and the class.

Any ideas?
 
I have a grand total of two rosettes (3rd place my dog won in Best Veteran, and a Clear Round

) and they are displayed very proudly on the mantlepiece.

We tend to hang them around a big picture in our dining room. OH said recently that we should take down last years but I said not until we'd got one this year! I do have one frame which has some special ones in, but most are in boxes, such a shame.
 
I've got the Spooky Pony's on some nylon threads beside his saddles, and the riding school ones on a sort of folding hat-rack thing at home.

At the minute they are all either in the loft or in my wardrobe. They get to stay up in the living room during the show season and then they get put away at the end.
Trophy's get to stay in the living room though.

When they are out last years

all mine were up on a big board but my mum took them all down and said it looked tacky because im 21 now not 12 :O

i really think its because i already have more than her :P
 
My single solitary rosette hangs on the calendar in the kitchen, because i am dead proud of it ! i desperately want to win something with Ella, I think i would wear it on my head if I ever got a rosette with her !!
 
Our 2009 ones are on the top of my curtains in my bedroom, and on string on a bookcase. Want to leave them out but don't know where as I'll need the room for 2010's (hopefully!!!).

I have some in the feed room, some in the sitting room, some in the hall and some in my bedroom.
I have also had comments about the place looking like a kid's bedroom and I'm 33. Hubby suggested that I put away all but the firsts, but some of the lower place ones took more winning so are just as special. They are hard to come by for me now, which is another reason why I don't want to shove them up in the attic.
 
I only have 4 so far (in 5 years of ownership!). They are very proudly displayed on the side of the large wicker basket that sits on a shelf in my dining room - it's effectively my drinks cabinet. It just seemed the right place to go 'cheers pony' when I reach for a bottle!
 
Never thought I'd be complaining about having too many rosettes! We've got quite a big landing so they're dispalayed on the beams. But all except the firsts, some very special seconds and the ones from big championship shows get consigned to a carrier bag at the end of the season.
Both OH and I compete and as you can enter lots of classes in western (because the class duration is relatively short) you tend to get lots of rosettes....
However, the few trophies we have won (with a huge pewter statue of a horse that our mare won for being halter champion as pride of place) are on the mantlepiece in the sitting roon with their corresponding rosettes. And there they will stay, no matter how much it makes our non-horsey friends laugh!
