Am I really the Weirdo? Posts: 11181 Location: Kansas	I like winning and giving interesting awards like that. You definitely can't please everyone, but I think it's easier to shop for home decor type of items than for horse tack. Everyone has their own preferences in tack and I think you run a bigger risk of giving them something that they can't use at all. I have ordered tv trays, picture frames, shelves, lamps and even barstools for awards. I have also given embroidered bags and throw blanketes for prizes. The blankets have always been a big hit and the last couple years I've given them for one spot in each go round of all the events. Even our bareback riders love them!

If you must give out something for prizes give out certificates for saddles that way ppl can customize, get exactly what they want, and choose to have the fenders trophied out or not. I would rather not have anything on the fender's for better re-sale value. Its one thing when they are donated and thats all you get but don't use money to buy prizes or saddles please! Producers buy trophy saddles and pay more to get them built than I do when I resale them...I want the money from them. Money keeps ppl going up and down the road attending shows!
