Darlow Rosettes

Advantages: Excelent prompt service, good value and quality. Take small orgainzersseriously
Disadvantages: I have not had reason to use them for some time, and things may change

...I used this company to order rosettes for several photo shows and one village gymkhana, and the reason I haven't used them for a couple of years now is because I stopped running shows, not because I was in any way dissatisfied with their work. I first spotted their details in the back of one of the magazines, and requested a catalogue, at the same time as several other firms.

I have had success showing him in hand (you are not allowed to ride them at shows until they are 4) and up until now I have plaited the tail. I even received a rosette the other day for the best plaited tail. After coming accross the mane and tail trimmer, I decided to tidy up his tail. Plait or Pull... Read review
