The girls behind Show The Bows

Founder & Creative Director

Meet Lauren Pileggi Friga

Horse show bows is one of the most sentimental items an equestrian will have throughout their riding journey. I started making bows and sewing surcingle belts when I was working at Bucks County Saddlery as a teenager. At the time, I never imagined I would turn that into my own business.

After graduating from Rider University, I entered the corporate marketing world. In 2019, my rescue dog Quinn became very sick, so I started making horse show bows for my friends kids to help pay Quinn’s costly vet bills.

Just a few short years later, Quinn has fully recovered and I now operate Show The Bows full time. One of my favorite parts of my business is working closely with kids and parents to design their bows and meeting customers in person at horse shows.

Logo designer & illustrator

Meet Jessica Pirrone

As the logo designer and illustrator for Show The Bows, I help customers customize their bows with their barn logos and custom portraits of their ponies. 

I created JPbyDesign a little over a year ago as a creative outlet to my job in the hospital as a Respiratory Therapist. I’ve always been an animal lover and have three fur babies of my own, two rescue dogs and a cat. Although I’m a lover for all animals, my heart has always led me to the horses. I began riding at 7 years old, owned and loved my little Thoroughbred gelding who recently crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 26. 

Animals are such a big part of my life and I’m so happy to be a part of the Show the Bows team because whether you’re in the show ring with your equine friend or walking the park with your pup, we can create something unique and one of a kind for you and your fur-baby!
