Black or brown tack on a grey?

[Montyforever]

I dont know if theres any rules for showing ect.

But debating getting a brown bridle for my welsh a,

She looks v.nice in her brown headcollar.

What do you all think?

 

[Onyxia]

Not sure whats correct,but brown looks lovely on lighter coloured horses-it's a b*gger to match saddle to bridle though

 

[Achinghips]

I vote for black, it looks smarter and matches the leg colour, giving a more streamlined look. But, brown looks more expensive, I think

 

[Puppy]

I prefer my grey in black,

but then I don't do showing!

 

[BackInBlack]

i think my grey looked better in black

 

[trottingon]

If you will be showing native M&M classes, brown is preferable.

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Brown without a doubt!

 

[Persephone]

Brown for showing.

I much prefer my mare in black though.

 

[P4NN]

Yep brown only for showing.
But, I think black looks better on a grey. Looks neater and cleaner. Esp nice in dressage

 

[flowerlady]

Is it a rule then brown for showing???

No wonder we never did anything in Show Hunter we were all black which personally I think looks much better than brown.

Definately brown tack for showing.

 

[TallyHo123]

Brown tack all the way!

 

[Cyberchick]

Along with the others, I don't show so I don't know what is preferable but for me I prefer Black tack on mine, looks so much smarter

 

[lochpearl]

I use Black for Dressage and Brown for Showing!

 

[P4NN]

It is the prefered colour for showing yes!!
For small local shows it probably dosnt matter but if the judge has 2 horses that are both possibly first place horses but one is in brown tack and the other is in black the judge will give the first place to the one in brown tack.
It is definatly a must in higher level local and county level shows and affliliated stuff!
I have a brown set of tack for showing but it looks old and tired in comparison to my nice black dressage stuff and brown is a real b***ger to clean as it changes colour when oiled!

 

[Drummer]

Brown all they way, yes correct for showing but regardless of that I much prefer it as I think it looks alot softer and smarter, black can be harsh. You can get lovely dark havana stuff which is what my boy is in and I think it looks very smart, we do show and hunt though but he did used to be in black.

 

[TicTac]

Brown. My grey's have always looked better in brown and it's traditional for showing.

 

[Ashgrove]

Brown tack, much smarter IMO

 

[blackhorse09]

Call me a traditionalist but I've always used brown tack on my grey because imo it's more correct for Pony Club and hunting and deffo for showing. =]
