Generally yes - unless you are lucky enough to get placed at Hickstead where for reasons best known to themselves it's blue for first and red for second

[Wally]

Red generally first, although I have won all manner of multi-coloured ones in the past for first and second etc. It all depends upon taste.

Charlie's Best Gelding rossette is a bright blue tartan. (shame the Shetland pony society don't know that tartan is not recognised in Shetland at all) All comes from the HQ being in Perth I suppose!

[Kanuma]

generaly yes red is first, blue second, yellow third and green fourth.

[MI Horsey]

Strange that even that is different from UK to US

[ponytude]

But also in Canada it is
red-1st
blue-2nd
white-3rd
yellow-4th
green-5th
pink-6th

Ah, but was is consistent is prize money for 1st place is always less than the cost of the entry fee :(

[colouredcrazy]

Very true David! And of course there is pony club who has blue first, red second, green third, yellow fourth... and I can't remember what comes after that!

There used to be white 'special' rossettes for unplaced people too... don't see them around any more. :( Shame. I had quite a collection.... :p

[Kanuma]

IF there was prize money at all!!

[Wally]

We have specials still, when we have little shows we are awful and make sure everyone gets a placing and a special. I know, I know FIX I all hear you shout, but .......... :o :o

Our specials are purple! :D and we also have a little rossette to give to kiddies whose birthday it is or if they are shy you know what I mean, and that one is green.

IF there was prize money at all!!

i know!! i came 4th at an agricultural show and collected £4 prize money. and came 3rd in a novice sj class (unaffiliated), got £3 then entered the intermediate with that money and promptly got eliminated!!!

[easyhorsecare]

Red is normally for first and blue for second, but when I was in the pony club, some 20 years ago, first rosette was blue and second was red. I dont know why!!
All the best

Yeah , your right . Red's first , blue's second .
easyhorsecare , I don't remember where I read this but the pony club still do it diffirently . I think they just want to be diffirnet or something. :confused:

[horseyrose]

Our pony club does it the other way round for some reason
1st = blue, 2nd = red, 3rd = green, 4th = yellow, 5th = pink and 6th = purple.
