  • Before finalists take part in their last exercises at a gymkhana pony competition, these rosettes prizes seen here in close-up detail wait to be claimed by young winners and losers. From the top we see prizes for Reserve Champions then those for 1st prize, then second, third and runners-up at the very bottom. Such accolades are won and lost by fractions of a second but their importance is remembered for years afterwards as young girls desperately practice to improve their equestrian skills. A huge commitment is needed by the girls and their parents who spend great deals of money and time for these treasured prizes which can be won or lost by fractions of seconds or single points. Those that fail to win go home feeling empty-handed or perhaps cheated out of victory and glory. Those who win hang them on bedroom walls for years to come.

  • Rosettes and sheep competition mementoes adorn the wall and mantlepiece of champion breeder Vic Bull's crofting bungalow home overlooking Loch Bay, Waternish, Isle of Skye Scotland. Afternoon sunlight pours through a front window into his living room which serves as a shrine to the Sheep. Having already refused a half million Pounds for his house and spectacular view high up on a hill, he prefers to breed his beloved Blackface sheep which he shows only twice a year at local competitions in the Dunvegan area and the prizes and awards are proof of his success. Vic now lives alone rearing his livestock with four sheepdogs for training and company. Image taken for the 'UK at Home' book project published 2008..

  • Winning and losing contestants line up to receive their prizes at a gymkhana in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The point of focus is a young cheeky-faced girl adorned with a winners' special rosette and she grins cheekily to her friend alongside. Far right another girl less satisfied inspects her own rosette. The word gymkhana is an Indian Raj term that referred to a place where sporting events took place to test the skill of the competitors. In the UK and east coast of the US, the term gymkhana now almost always refers to an equestrian event for riders on horses, often with the emphasis on children's participation (such as those organised here by the Pony Club). Gymkhana classes include timed speed events such as barrel racing, keyhole, keg race (also known as "down and back"), flag race, and pole bending.

  • During proceedings at the North Somerset Show, a farmer holds on to his prize bull after judging. This fine animal has gained a First and its rosette is attached to the cheekpiece of his halter. The bull is a Hereford, a breed widely raised mainly for meat production. With its traditional ring piercing its nose, the male is a heavyweight of the cattle kingdom and is a fine specimen that deserves to win his prize. Its value as a sperm donor has now increased considerably. Originally from Herefordshire, England, United Kingdom, more than five million pedigree Hereford Cattle now exist in over 50 countries. The Hereford Cattle export trade began from United Kingdom in 1817. Today, Hereford cattle dominate the world scene from Australasia to the Russian steppes. Hereford Cattle can be found in Israel, Japan and throughout Continental Europe and Scandinavia
