I'm wondering what colours you'd suggest for a Skewbald. He's got a fair bit of 'bay' rather than orange! but really evenly marked! He needs some new bits (I've just taken him on loan) and I like things matching!!!
Best colours on a Skewbald?

Royal blue - I see a skewbald at riding club in royal blue and think it looks great

This was one of my choices! Le Mieux do a lovely headcollar! https://www.lemieuxproducts.com/hor...eux-vogue-headcollar-leadrope-navy-royal-blue
I think this would suit him!
I did think green as well but I don't like green!

I think bay tobianos look amazing in a lot of colours surprisingly.
Royal or navy blue and red, maroon or hunter green and when I had a melt down we had a bit of pink going on (which did not look good) but no one borrowed my headcollar lol

My favourites on mine is purple or black but others that look good are mustard yellow, lavender, mint, dark green, red, white and burgundy. Most other blues look good too.

I have a skewbald the same colour, he is beautiful but I may be biased! This is great for inspiration, I've recently bought a GP saddle after years of dressage saddles and so I need some new saddlecloths!
Rather than bright colours, I really like darker colours and 'muted' tones. He has a Le Mieux champagne headcollar and I've recently bought a Le Mieux saddlecloth in their sage green colour, that looks lovely.
Just my opinion, but I think anything too bright clashes with his markings, and I don't like red/pink on him either. My dark bay, however, looks stunning in Le Mieux raspberry!

Download the “dress my horse” app. You can upload a photo of your pony and then “try products on” it! Perfect for picking colours!

Burgundy looks very smart on most colours, including skewbald/bay. I see you don't like green - hunter green would be one of my first choices. I also really like teal, turquoise and blue based purple. Royal blue looks great on a dark bay.

I was thinking purple (Le Mieux Blackcurrant) but getting things is proving hard as that colour is discontinued! Can you all show me your Le Mieux sets on your coloureds?!

Perhaps no one has explained the rules to you but it is mandatory to post a picture of said horse so we can all admire - this isn't just because I am partial to a skewbald, its the rules.

turquoise looks good on a skewbald.

If you’re on an iPhone, when you choose the pic you want to upload, it is displayed on your phone. In the bottom right hand corner, it will state ‘actual size’. If you tap that, you can choose different sizes, I have used medium and it’s uploaded fine. You then tap on ‘done’ and it should upload. Clear as mud! ?
