Show saddle name plate

e_watson09 · 11-03-2009, 02:46 PM

Well I just bought my show saddle this year off my best friend and it has a name plate on the back and I was wondering what you think I should get on it? I plan on showing my same horse in this saddle for a while and since this is my first real show saddle I plan on keeping it and eventually when I get old and move out I plan on having it as house ornament.

So for the nameplate on the back I can't decide what to get. Should I get my horse's name, my name, or what? I'm not sure if it's big enough to get my horse's show name so I don't know what to do... Here's what I'm debating between

Erica Lynn-This is what everyone calls me and I think it looks good in cursive

Erica
Dusty-My horse's barn name
Made You Look-My boy's show name

What do you think?

I've never seen anything but the owner's name on saddle plates. But then again, I'm relatively new to this horsie game....

My saddle has my name on the show plate. I have only seen the rider's names on there. Never seen one with the horse's name.

I've seen a couple horses names on them but it's not as common because people generally go through horses faster than they do saddles. But I'm debating waiting and if my horse qualifies for western for state this year then I'm thinking about getting his name since he earned it.

The name plates are not all that expensive, so put what you want on it! All three that I've purchased, including engraving, were about $11 each.
