Garlands by Alison

Tomorrow I am heading off to Warragul Show as a sponsor and presenting garlands to winners of some supreme championships. The colour criteria is because it’s the Anniversary of the Society and the colours are blue, yellow and white. I have also created a body garland for Supreme Rider instead of a Floral Armband Rosette but in the past I have always been wary of design this style as they can slip with the weight so this design is a lot lighter and different style. Here are some sneaky peek photos. Oh and the other exciting thing is children in leading rein classes will receive a special showbag gift from me at Garlands by Alison.

Yesterday I got to attend a very special event for the SHCV International Showdown for Mountain & Moorland Group at Werribee Equestrian Centre and present the garland and armband to winners. My apologies for not getting names but if you won these please feel free to share my post with your friends. Also a big congratulations. I was do proud of how stunning the garland turned out of fitted the pony beautifully. This garland was a very special design for the show and includes lights so I’m looking forward to receiving some night time photos from the winner.

I have just today had the pleasure of taking the garlands out to the Melbourne Showgrounds for some of this year's Melbourne Royal Show, Horses in Action events. I would like to give a big shout out and thank you to Shannon Lawlor from International Animal Health Products for again asking me to make the garlands by Garlands by Alison for the Champion Child's Hack, Galloway, Pony, Show Hunter Hack, Show Hunter Galloway and Show Hunter Pony. Also would like to thank Michelle Gorton from Oakton Lodge Performance Horses for again giving me an open book to make what I like for the event they sponsor being the Alistair Irving Champion Working Stockhorse. This is the 5th year I have made that garland and I am so proud of how the garlands look for both sponsors. Thank you for again entrusting me and I hope to see some lovely photos again from the winners. Good Luck everyone, thanks Alison Kain from Garlands by Alison
