Thanks!

Yes! I had burgundy on my old chestnut mare and it really suited her.

Personal taste I think, it's not what I'd put on an orange body

No i wouldn’t either, think it clashes too much unless maybe a dark chestnut.
i had a beautiful bright chestnut horse and navy set his colour off very well and bright blue. But I am a blue lover !

On a dark/liver Chestnut perhaps.

I wouldn’t put it on my chestnut.

Can't find a photo now but it looked lovely on my old girl.

If you like it go for it. Doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

Yes I would, even on the bright orange one.

I love blue too! Currently all my saddle pads are navy blue and I wanted to maybe get a saddle pad that isn't navy blue. (Never done that before ? ).

nope it would clash like mad. He suits greens, blues, creams, and hot pink

I put hot pink on my chestnut ? It really clashes. And he's a boy. But it makes me happy.

But chestnuts are best in greens and blues and browns on the whole.

I used to love orange, brown or green on my chestnuts

I think a slightly darker burgundy than that would look nice on a chestnut.

 

[milliepops]

I mainly have greens and blues but bright purple looks pretty good on a chestnut too.

I think burgundy usually looks nice on chestnuts, as it has brown in it which suits them. That's a particularly nice burgundy.

That "dress my horse" app is going to keep me entertained for hours by the way!

Our liver chestnut girl looks lovely in burgundy, not sure it would look as lovely on our orange boy though… then again, it really does depend on the shade of burgundy - the one in your picture is lovely (sorry, not much help am I?!)

The trouble with having a horse who suits pretty much any colour is the DressMyHorse app just encourages me to buy them all.

Thankfully, we're now heading into winter when she'll be too muddy and disgusting to be trusted with any new matchy-matchy. Even that lovely PS of Sweden thyme one, with the bow. In fact, ESPECIALLY that one.
