| Anyone got any suggestions as to where they keep cowboy hats in the LQ? My kids always seem to toss them on the counter, table, seat, etc and I would prefer to find a place that I could have them put them during shows. A box isn't really practical as the hats are on and off several times a day. I don't really have wall space to put them. I am thinking about one of the spring loaded holders you use in a pickup attached to the roof over the camper door. Mike |

Location: western PA | It would be a simple matter to fabricate a wooden slip bracket and mount it to the ceiling. It could be based on the various designs used to hang and store stemware glasses, enlarged to fit the hat's center. With no hardware or springs involved, a hat could be stored with only one hand, which would easier to accomplish than a spring type with the higher ceilings. |

Location: Texas | My trails west came with some of the spring loaded wire hat racks installed in the ceiling of the tackroom. I'd bet that would work for you, but can everyone reach them? |

Location: Washington DC | In some of the LQ I have seen the last couple years at the NFR, the Hat rack is directly above the door. when ya think about it, it makes a lot of sense, that room isn't being used for anything else and its very convienent, first thing when ya come in and last thing before leavin' it's "Cowboy simple" |

Also kind of impractical to wear it in the bed when you are taking a little rest in between classes on a 90 degree afternoon, not to mention bad luck to put you hat on the bed. |

but some are raised to take their hats off when they go inside. And that would be the LQ to some

Location: Minnesota | Kind of hard to wear more than one hat on my head at one time. I always wanted to die in bed with my boots on. |

I could not ride english if my life depended on it. Plus 1200 to 1400lb quarter horses look really funny with english tack on them. |

Location: Northern Utah | The spring loaded wire holders have a tendency to flaten your brim as they press them against the ceiling. I prefer the wood ones that let the hat just hung. They don't distort my brims as much. |
