Have a competitive horse crazy kid? A horse show party is a great way to educate your
guests about show jumping, tent pegging, vaulting, reining, combined driving,
Dressage, barrel racing and more. You might even take the kids to a real horse show
competition or horse races.

Horsing around on eBay and Amazon:
Amazon is a great place to search for Horse show party supplies, like the "day at the
races" plates above.  You'll often find better prices than on eBay. It's really
the only place to shop for Kentucky Derby fun. What's more, Amazon sellers are
more professional and reliable (items must ship in two days).

You'll find eBay is a great place to search for your Horse show party for vintage
finds or items in bulk (like Horse show ribbons).

Here are some things to search:
  • Doll house Horse trophy (these make excellent favors)
  • Horse cookie cutters
  • Blue ribbons
  • Horse show ribbons (you'll find vintage and new selections)
  • Horse show stickers (Creative
  • Hands cool foam stickers) and embellishments for scrapbooks
  • Horse Mardis Gras beads

When you search eBay, be sure to get cash back for all your eBay purchases by
shopping through a special portal that helps you save money on eBay and earn a
lifetime of residual income.

    share her passion for collecting model horses.

Horse Show party decoration ideas

    favors. Spray paint horseshoes silver or gold, then add gems, glitter and glue For
    the finishing touch. This is a fun activity For your child before the party.

  • Horse show ribbons. Find Horse show ribbons on eBay and place a special one
    behind the chair of the birthday kid. They are approximately two feet long with a
    decorative rosette at the top. We found several vintage and new Horse show
    ribbons on eBay For $4.00- $10.00 in varying sizes.

    ribbon for just $1.00 and a horse trophy for $1.60 each. Look also on eBay. Here
    is a quality pewter dollhouse trophy, right, available on Amazon.

  • Search for horse scrapbook materials and buttons on eBay to accent your
    invitations and thank you cards. Search for terms such as: horse-shoe,
    horseshoe, horse shoe (yes, all three varieties will yield different results). You'll
    also find a variety of horse stickers for favors and invitations. Pictured right is a
    horse show board with removable stickers.

Activities for your Horse Show Party:

    competition with judging and prize ribbons and trophies. Klutz published My Very
    Own Horse Book that not only makes a great gift, but provides a horse and
    instructions for making a saddle, blanket and bridle. For the birthday girl, the
    Horse Show activity kit, available on Amazon, is ideal and can serve as decoration
    for the party.

  • Run for the roses. Create a horseshoe Garland of Roses for your horse show party
    by cutting a large horse shoe shape (12"-16") and affixing red roses from a craft
    store (or creating rosettes from confetti paper). For inspiration or to buy one
    ready made, visit PlumParty.com.

    Monopoly money and award prizes. Alternatively, have guests pick their horses
    from a derby hat (horses featured in the recording) and award the winning jockey.

    Horse. Show horses must often have fancy manes For competition. So use this
