where to buy cheap dressage markers?????

[BethH]

Well now that my ned has learnt to use 4 legs again I need to buy some weatherproof or metal Dressage Letters for my sandschool. I need some that I can put on the post and rail rather than free standing as my horse falls out so badly the whole time he will knock them over. I have looked at the usual feedbarn websites and for some reason feel the prices seem alot for a few small bits of metal and plastic - Any ideas??? Any ideas for whiteboards and really cheap jumps would also be gratefully received as my old suppplier doesn't seem to answer the phone any more!!!

You never know we might get good enough to do a walk/trot test late in the year!

thats a good start thank you - have a few interesting bits and pieces on the site

what about using the lids of ice cream containers, maybe write the letters yourself in a black marker

I made some using a really huge typeface on the pooter so that the letter filled an A4 page and then laminated them!! Very cheap!!!!

Was just about to suggest making your own & laminating them.

Good idea will try that - any ideas on ones that have a metal back so i can screw them on to post and rail?

What about those metal picture frames - you can get them in places like Hobbycraft, etc - that are designed to be screwed to the wall ?
