Black or brown tack?

[alqpzm]

Just a general question,

bit of fun😃

I like black on all ponies I think it looks neat.

My decision on tack colour has always depended on the colour of the horse. My grey and white chap looks fab in black tack but I hated it on my dark bay mare. My roan boy looked nice in black but I preferred him in Australian Nut (lighter and redder than Havana). My little chestnut mare looked best in Havana.

I must admit to preferring Havana tack in all situations but sometimes you have to go with the fit and you end up with black.

For me I like brown tack on everything

Brown although a chestnut at our yard has a beautiful burgundy colour (I'm sure there's a proper name for if if somebody could enlighten me!). I don't think I'd like it on most, but it's stunning on him:

I always, always had brown (showing might have had something to do with it), on a dappled bay, a black and a chestnut. Now I have a piebald and she will be in black.

 

[Goldenstar]

Both , my horses jump / hack / hunt in brown and do dressage in black .

 

[OldNag]

Havana. I just don't like black tack.

Depends on the horse's colour for me, but I almost always prefer brown. Black is nice on blue roans and greys with dark points though! My grey is pretty much totally white in winter so could go either way, but in summer he has a few fleabitten spots and brownish flecking on his points rather than grey, so looks nicer in brown I think!

Brown, always.
I hate black tack and think it looks absolutely awful on all horses

Given a choice I would always go for havannah. I do have black tack for one of the Shetlands purely because the saddle I want didn't come in havannah.

 

[ShadowHunter]

I've always used black, though brown would be nice for a change if it suited the horse.

 

[rowan666]

Brown on everything except my skewbald who looks smarter in black when she's clipped out

 

[Bav]

Havannah brown, especially on Greys (that have fully greyed out) as I think it's much softer then black.

tan


I only own havanna (and some tan)

 

[Pedantic]

Black always looks smart to me, brown always seems a bit..........er brown

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

I prefer brown on all horses, but I don't mind black on white-greys or blacks or piebalds.

 

[Nudibranch]

Havannah though I have black tack as well.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

My gothic heart says black every time... although I do have some havana tack due to it being 2nd hand.

 

[Jazmyn101]

Brown always not keen on black tack.

 

[R_Owen]

I have a brown saddle, simply because when the saddle fitter came it suited me and my boy better than all the other saddles we tried.

Leo's tack is all black as he's dun with black legs and black mane/tail. I think it just looks smarter and i already had all black things for me (boots/chaps/hat). It also really bugs me when the browns don't match as its often difficult to get exactly the same colour brown
