do you want anything horsey on them?? If not you could try a party supply store, I've seen some that have a variety of ribbons.

Is it the smell of their body as I hug their long neck, or the scent only a horse has that I can't forget? Is it the depth of their eyes as they contentedly rest? No, it's just being around them that I like the best.--Teresa Becker

See if these would fill your need:
Trophy Central Custom Ribbons
You can pick from one of their full horse or just a horse's head designs...
You can always use the leftover ones for your next show!
There is a neat looking horse on the Mascots section..also on the Farm & Fish section(scroll down once ribbon page comes up!)

I think you know i am show secretary at Church Farm(it's in my profile), when we started holding showing and Jumping classes, I went on line found all the companies in Uk, and rang some of the numbers off the ribbons I have, US for you, sent for their catalogues, chose the cheapest, but nicest, and ordered enough for all the classes, 20 Showing classes, 14 Jumping classes, and a couple of spares, these were from 1st to 6th place. If you buy standard one tier rosettes(Ribbons) with no logo, and just 1st on the company won't charged you a setting up print fee, for a standard one tier 1st place rosette, they cost me about 38p(can't work that out in cents, sorry) So when that show is over, I work out what I have left, and what I need to make up the sets, and just order what is needed for next show(sometimes might only have 2 or 3 in one class, so only need to order 1st 2nd 3rd to make that set up). Go on line, order the catalogues, they work out a lot cheaper than buying from a party shop including your post ang pacaging, even if you are just having 1sts, but if you are going to hold more shows, to encourage people to come along again, try to stretch to at least 3rd place if not 6th, and get some specials for the little kids that don't come anywhere but nice to take a ribbon home with them. If you work it out, what your entry fee is and how much your ribbons cost, you can make a good profit whether it's for a charity or your own use. Lot of information but hope it helps
