    Colours for my Chestnut Lad??

    Thanks Guys. I think my sister has a dark green numnah hiding somewhere in the house, so I'll maybe try and borrow it to try on him and see how it looks :). The lime green is definitely different!

    Colours for my Chestnut Lad??

    Thanks for that Abbeygale. She does look lovely in red, shes a similar colour chestnut to the boy I had before this one and he suited red too, not sure how it would look on a darker chestnut though?
