In the Ribbons

Now that the horse show season is upon us, the ribbons will be proudly making their way home! Here are a few tips to keep those hard-earned prizes from becoming clutter.

Consider displaying your ribbons by hanging them ribbons from string, wire or fine chain on the wall. True Champion Displays has some great products for displaying ribbons and so does Award Keeper.

Ribbons can collect dust and fade when exposed to light. If you wish to display the ribbons long term, consider framing them in shadow boxes with special UV blocking glass. The ribbons not on display should be placed in archival boxes for long-term storage.

Regardless of how you display your ribbons or even IF you display your ribbons you should keep track of the prizes you’ve won.

I’ve prepared an interactive spreadsheet that will allow you to not only keep track of all the prizes you’ve won, but which horse shows you’ve attended and the judges at each horse show.
