End of Horse Show Season...what to do with all those ribbons?

It's almost the holidays meaning the 2013 horse show season is over. I have done two schooling shows...sigh. Not exactly the big time, but it was a good test to see that my horse has started to trust people again. No spooking and no bad behavior, very happy with him and feel more ready for a few real shows next year.

Regardless, I still have too many ribbons from years before, from other horses, and need to do something with them. It's sad to have them in a box in the attic. Regardless of the level of show they are from, they are memories and deserve a little display.

 

Love this for a little girl's room or guest room. Very pretty.

Arrange and take a few black and white photos.

If you are proud to be an American, make a flag. Nice country touch.

 

Cute ribbon buttons like lollipops in a trophy cup.

Frame some of those ribbons that have a common color scheme, especially if they have the vintage look.

Special ribbons from a special horse, this picture frame helps save those memories.



 

Displayed in a classy frame.

 

The obvious, in the barn.

 

Hanging on the wall, décor around the home.

 

Really simple, just use a flat ribbon as book mark. I do this, but that is not my hand.

 

Horse show ribbon pillows...these look a little more complicated to arrange but worth a shot.

 

Cute purse.

 

In a glass display case.

 

Use for an equestrian themed party!

 

Like colors on a silk back drop. Adds nice texture to your wall.

 

And because Christmas is just around the corner, you could try ribbon wreath and Christmas tree. Would look really cute in a barn to add some holiday cheer for the horses.
