Brown tack on bay horses ..

[Alyth]

As an 'oldie' I was taught brown for country, black for town!! But it depends on the shade of brown - dark brown always looks fab, but light brown ----- NEVER!!

Agree with Alyth- even my dark boy is going into brown, though its taking a bit of getting used to!

I've been advised to use brown tack only on my Cleveland Bays for competing, which is a bit annoying as all my tack is black!!

Googling the southern Cleveland bay club or just a general image search should pull up loads of examples

Mine wears Brown. I can't post a picture from my phone though.

Here she is in her brown bridle, her saddle is also brown, normally with a brown numnah/saddlecloth/half pad.

Not working - bum

I have brown for the two bays and black for the greys and dapple grey. Much prefer brown/Havana though especially for the show ring.

I only buy brown tack for my horses not keen on black, I think brown suits all colours of horse.

the only horse I like in black tack is pitch black & white piebald ... Unfortunately my new piebald boy fits my brown saddle and thus ... is now also going in brown. Am getting used to it, still. Which is weird as hugely prefer brown on every other horse!

All tack used to be Havana or London tan! What it fits like is far more important than trendy!

Brown Brown Brown! I have a chestnut, a couloured, a bay and a black and they are all in brown, browns correct for showing!

I had brown tack on my bay mare, looked good, better than black IMO

I apologise, these pictures will be huge probably..

I like black tack, but have brown for my new mahogany bay chap, black for the greys and the black one - with LOADs of garish sparkly gold, silver or diamanté on all of it, naturally.

This is a Jeffries Havana bridle, which over time has gone really dark, but it's still brown

I plonked the saddle on her today, have to say I think brown suits her! Didn't get a picture though, numpty ... Now to get someone to check it fits, looks okay to me but I know eff all about fitting saddles!
