Black horse question..+ pics of black horses!

[1Lucie]

I'm thinking of buying my horse a new headcollar, saddlecloth etc. Poor has inherited all my old boys stuff which is mostly navy blue.

What colour suits black horses? If anyone has pics of their black beautys i'd love to see for some inspiration!!

 

[Shantara]

I really think anything suits black
If I end up with a black horse, it'll either end up in red, lime green or yellow

Was thinking red, i do have some pink stuff but my husband says i'm a cruel mum for dressing him in pink lol

 

[Silmarillion]

Anything bold, I think. Not dark or pastel, but you can do almost anything. My mum's has red

 

[Shantara]

I think pink on a boy horse can be alright, so long as it's tasteful and you don't go all Katie Price

I think red looks gorgeous on black horses. Purple can do too, as long as it's the right shade!

 

[SuperCoblet]

Red or purple have you got any pics of him?

 

[Sootsme]

Love mine naked!

 

[Yertis]

Purple

I cant work out how to add pics lol. He's an ISH but more on the draft side!

My black ones have always had blues, baby blue is sweet, but a vibrant royal blue looks so smart! Also gold & silver. I've also had mint green which looked good.

Have just bought a silver grey saddlecloth which looks very smart, but have no pics of him wearing it, so just posted the naked pic instead lol he is IDX too

Mine wears red.

I;m afraid I'm a bit matchy matchy with mine and she has baby blue, lilac and bergundy numnahs and bandages!

ps you can't go wron with white either lol

I always put green on mine as "his colour" but he always looks stunning in white

I would go the classic route and stick to black with a coloured trim, I have my grey in black with a silver trim as is everyday saddle cloth, his dressage saddle cloth is white (of course) with a silver trim, his bridle is black with silver trim as is his head collar. My bay has black with gold trim. I think black looks so classic

 

[MerrySherryRider]

I don't do matchy, so my beautiful black horse wears a brown leather headcollar, brown tack and usually brown saddlecloths.

Bright colours work best. Red is usually a safe bet and looks good or you could go down the purple route if you could find a nice shade

ahh some god sugestions, colours i hadnt even thought about! Ps loving pic of blak horsey with tiny little girl on, soo cute!

I've got a piebald, but he has a black head so I hope I can join in!
He wears a red/navy headcollar and black everything else (numnah, travel boots, tail bandage etc) you can see how the red stands out, but the navy almost blends in on him.

 

[Splish & Masons mum]

oops, sorry about size! forgot to shrink it.

 

[soxsmummy]

Yellow !

We use white on our black horse looks really nice, down side it gets dirty quickly.

 

[NeverSayNever]

i have a black mare, and tbh i think anything goes with black, except brown

My mare has strong white markings so I like white on her for dressage and xc colours are black and white. Day to day she wears a plain black numnah and coolers, travel set etc are mainly black . I also a few bright pink accessories

 

[Ilovefoals]

I use grey, turquoise, pink, red, generally anything bold.

 

[wattamus]

Mine's dark bay but literally black in winter. She has had green, blue, pink and red Not the best pick but this is us HT two years ago

 

[NOISYGIRL]

Turquoise, royal blue or jade

 

[midi]

i think most shades of blues look nice, especially baby blue.
don't like red on black personally.

 

[Lyssatra]

I don't think any colour looks bad on a black horse - agree that the bolder/brighter the better.
A few people on my yard have black horses, these girls are very matchy-matchy dressage divas (but all lovely don't get me wrong!), colours i have seen them use include leopard print ("natural" and pinks/purples - poor horse is a gelding), yellows (canary and sunshine), blues (all varieties), purples (rich/dark best but have also seen lavender), pinks (hot to pale and everything in between!), greens, orange, turquoise etc etc

As i said have yet to see a colour look bad, although i will admit to not being a big fan of pinks or prints in general so those would not be up my street - luckily i don't have a black horse,

My black sec D has all purple and pink!
