Pets, Prizes and Award Ribbons

Pets are a big part of many people’s lives.

Over the years, we’ve figured out how to celebrate not only the pet but the owner as well.

From fairs to festivals and dog shows to equestrian events, ribbons make a common appearance. Mostly given as awards for titles such as, “Best In Show,” “First Place,” and “Champion,” ribbons are a great prize to take home for any pet.

Some of the most celebrated pets are horses. Equestrian events have been around for a long time. And the awards are pretty intense. Rosette ribbons are available as stock titles or customize your own; make sure all winners are recognized for their achievement. Ribbon rolls are sure to amaze as well with the right customization.

Another popular pet is man’s best friend: our dogs! Dog owners have been collecting these prizes and ribbons for almost as long has horse owners. And, it seems like they have just as hard of time with what to do with all the winning ribbons. While some of these ribbons wind up being bookmarks, how many times do they end up in a box collecting dust?

We’ve said this before, but those ribbon wreaths are perfect for decorating or for showing off just how amazing your pet really is. Look at this wreath made from a combination of rosette ribbons and badge award ribbons! Attach these ribbons using hot glue to a pre-made wreath you can purchase at most craft stores. Pinch the badge ribbons in the middle to create a bow look and use either a twist tie or staple to keep the shape. Add as many, or as few, as you want. And, the best part of this is that no one else can ever have the same wreath! Yours will be a true one-of-a-kind creation.

So, whether it’s an obedience ribbon or a purple and gold ribbon won for “Best of Breed,” remember to show off your, and your pet’s, hard work and greatness!

Understanding the Social Effect of Ribbons

From awareness and awards to wedding and event decorations, all ribbons have one thing in common: they create a social atmosphere. Ribbons are a perfect way to create fun. Whether it be part of a craft project or using them for decorations at your next party, they inevitably accomplish the same things. They drive your need to socialize. And this is an important aspect of ribbons.

To understand why all ribbons are social, ask yourself the following questions.

finding the social aspect and necessity in your ribbon usage

First, picture the world without ribbons. Now ask yourself why this would affect you and how it would impact your social life. Perhaps it doesn’t affect your daily life, but the overall quality of life would diminish. We don’t mean to state that without ribbons life is pointless. We only mean to state that ribbons spice up our lives. Take gift giving into consideration. What is your reaction to a present that isn’t wrapped? We all want to receive a beautifully packaged gift because we all want to feel appreciated. In this case, the social need for ribbons is to make someone feel special.

The next question you should ask yourself is where you would be at any given event without ribbons. Most events have decorations for the tables, backdrops and other pieces to get attention. Without ribbons, how would these social events look? No bright colors or fun ornamentation would make for a boring party. Yes, the disco ball would still be there, but what about the streamers and table runners? Ribbons make a party more social and exciting.

Another question you need to ask is how you would feel about excelling at a sporting event or academic achievement and not receiving any recognition. Without badge ribbons or award ribbons, we would all feel a bit left out, possibly even that it was a waste of our time from the get-go for even participating. Ribbons fill that social recognition that we all crave.

Other ribbon uses include a variety of arts and craft projects, commemorations, and ribbon-cutting ceremonies. They are also presented to honor service members as well as given or worn as symbols for causes and issue awareness.

So, join in on the fun! Ribbons are entertaining, cheerful, fascinating and they create the perfect finishing touch for projects, crafts and any event. Make your life social and full of ribbons today!

Customer Donations: Dorset Equine Rescue

From amazing customer service to providing donations, Coller Industries is all about helping others.

When one thinks of personalized identification, name tags come to mind almost immediately. However, personalized ribbons are a large part of identification needs as well. Coller Industries prides ourselves on our service, professionalism and production in these fantastic products. Our main focus is always helping our customers. As part of this, we often provide donations to those in need.

Once again, we were able to donate to a wonderful cause.

The Dorset Equine Rescue is a non-profit organization located in East Dorset, Vermont. The organization rescues horses and aids in the healing process which restores their health and wellness until they can be adopted.

Kayla Chilcote is hosting an event for the organization. “The mission and goals (for the event) are to raise money for the Equine Rescue so they can continue to give proper care and help pay for the costs they have to pay (for each of the horses they rehabilitate).”

The Dorset Equine Rescue strives to educate the community about all matters of horse care, health, and advocacy to continuously improve the long-honored and time-tested human-equine partnership.

The event that Chilcote is hosting in September will be to benefit the Gymkhana event. It is an event consisting of speed pattern racing and timed games for riders on horses. Often, these events emphasize children participation.

Coller Industries was able to help with the award ribbons for the event.
