Cavalier Unveiling |

Front View of Mold |
Asbury,
NEW JERSEY – March 12, 2012 – Show Your Colors proudly unveiled their first cement
cavalier jockey on March 8, 2012 at their manufacturing site in Pennsylvania. Show Your Colors has been painting
“jocko” lawn jockeys since the spring of 2011, with a concentration on custom
logos and thoroughbred racing colors.
As many client requests came in for the “Cavalier” style, they started
to search for an aluminum mold.
Approximately a year later, that mold was finally secured on Monday,
March 5, 2012, purchased from a private vender out of Old Bridge, NJ. The very next day that mold was filled
with its first batch of cement, with many more to follow. After curing for two days, the cast
aluminum pieces were carefully removed revealing the first Show Your Colors
Cavalier Jockey.

“Cavalier”
lawn jockeys are approximately 44 inches tall, standing atop a 14-inch
pedestal. Once this first one is
fully dry, Show Your Colors will determine the approximate weight. Original lawn jockeys were made of iron
and weighed between 300 and 400 lbs with the functional use of securing a
horse. Today they need not hold a
horse but represent popular lawn ornaments, and a common showcase for the
thoroughbred racing community to show their colors. At Show Your Colors, our in-house artist can depict your
colors making a great lasing impression onto a lawn jockey. Choose your favorite team, your company
logo, your racing silks, or simply your favorite colors and we’ll commemorate
it onto your choice of jockey styles.
