The rider's card bag is an excellent idea--and comes in lots of colors,
too. We also used those small Fortiflex buckets as a completion award.
The "Top Twenty" also received a sponge with a short biothane strap. The
Easyboot clip bags aren't functional--nice thought but only for the
"casual" trail rider (IM-not-so-HO).

I have a drawer full of patches, a closet full of mugs, a wall full of
ribbons....

I have seen trial sizes of tack cleaning products, horse ointments, etc.
Something like that would at least be different.

BTW: For the Bucks County Fall Festival 50 on 9/15 I have commissioned a
hand-painted plaque by Mary Rogowski, a Norwegian Folk Artist from Spruce
Creek, PA for our "Best Conditioned" Award. Mary also does beautiful
hand-painted horse ornaments at a very reasonable price. Phone
#814-632-9445.

Food for thought...
