Brown bridle, black saddle? Big no no??

[FinkleyGladiator]

Does anyone do this? Or is it a big horsey faux pas?
Getting my first dressage saddle (possibly) tomorrow....will it matter hugely if its black? Finn is a funny shape and I'm doing this on a budget so should I focus on price and fit before colour?
Also my friend has offered me her jumping saddle. This too is black and will be using this with my brown bridle...IF (big if) it fits should I worry about colour?
VERY excited as I've never had anything other than a GP

Thanks

I used to have a brown bridle and black saddle. I didn't compete so I didn't care as long as FB was comfortable.

as long as the tack fits and works who cares
i've used brown saddle/bridles with black breastplates before. If you were planning on showing get matching but if not go with what you got

TBH if you're bridle's havanna you'd have to look pretty closely to even realise. Could always buy a cheap black bridle if you're overly bothered but I personally wouldn't worry too much

I have a black bridle and brown saddle and tbh, its never bothered me in the slightest

Who cares what colour tack is, as long as it fits thats the main thing

Thanks, just what I wanted to hear!!

Yeah! We also have a brown bridle and black saddle - due to pony changing shape and having to borrow wider saddle!!

I think we should put it up for the 2009 'Must-Have fashion statement' for eventing!!! Then everyone will copy us!!

It won't mater- and if it is very noticable if you put oil on your bridle the night before it will turn a very dark shade. And the speed Finn goes at no one will notice!

 

[FinkleyGladiator]

Thanks

punk- yh lol...it will be the next 5 point breastplate "tack that doesnt match!!"
NoSurrender- yh lol! Youve hit the nail on the head there!!
xx

Will my brown stud guard be too noticable? Or does that just need lots of oiling?

Imy, you looser

I personalllly have to have matching tack

All my tack is the same brand for what ever outfit frosty is wearing (dressage/hunting/jumping)

haa.
But i am a bit of a loooser.
I wouldnt bother, unless you are compeating at a high levle its not important. Just if it really bothers you, buy a little cheap bridle for mr finnagenn

Love you much Xx

 

[FinkleyGladiator]

Emily = looser!!
You and your matching tack....a very nice shade of brown I would say!
I've only just bought a new bridle tho *whines* and my stud guard is about 2 months old....oh well...me and Finn will be cool

Love you more xx

I groom for my OH who is a pro and he uses his one favourite saddle on every horse no matter what colour everything else is... Just back from Dublin and used a black bridle and brown saddle in the Young Event horse class
Wouldn't worry one bit about it TBH....
