We’ve always done it that way. What region are you in?

Now I’m curious – what do people use in other regions for their trail markings? Most of the rides I’ve been to in Central – the Texas part – has been ribbons on clothespins.
Rae
I’ve done that for MANY years. To me, it’s the only way to go. Quick to attach, quick to detach, can be done from horseback easily. I clipped the ribbons on a long double strand of baling twine and slung it around my body diagonally. After the ride was over, I simply hung the lanyard (I guess that’s what I would call it) from a nail until next years’ ride. I don’t know of any bad or ugly – it’s all good. Hanging the lanyard with the ribbons clipped on also keeps the mice from chewing up the ribbon and making nests out of it.

OK all of you that mark trails. I have marked a LOT of trails but I've come up with an idea. Have you ever tied the ribbons to clothespins? My thought is that the ribbons could be used over and over. The good, the bad, and the ugly please. Thanks

We used wire hangers. It held a lot of ribbons, and was easy to hang on a horse’s breast collar or saddle and easy to hang up in the closet for storage for the next ride.

Another handy technique I used was fiberglass rods (the kind used for electric fencing) driven into the ground when crossing a pasture that didn’t have bushes or tree limbs. I recommend a rubber mallet for driving the rods, otherwise you could split the fiberglass. Also, wear gloves, because the fiberglass splinters can get into your hands and that is painful – not too bad, but I would consider it slightly on the dangerous side. Clothespins clip on the rode easily and stay there.
Beware! Cows find surveyor’s tape fascinating and perhaps tasty. They can ruin your markings. We also lost a young heifer one time from her eating a lot of surveyor’s ribbon.

We always use clothespins - attach them to trees, sagebrush, grass clumps, dried out cow pies, old cow bones, stakes if nothing else,

Most of the Midwest uses ribbons on clothes pins. Quick to put on, take off, and easy to reuse!Katie Bachhuber

Works great..super easy and quick to remove on horseback after the event as well.

PS. Spray-painting cow patties works too because cows generally won't eat their own poo.
