Colour of tack for dressage....

[KatB]

Was saddle searching today, and brought about a difficult descision, should I go for Black or Brown?! Use Brown at the mo for my boy, but do have a black bridle too.....so should I go for Black dressage saddle, or BRown?! What do people consider correct for dressage...??

 

[CastleMouse]

Black is more correct for dressage, but for lower levels you'll get away with a brown saddle

 

[RunToEarth]

I like black for dressage, but im sure your boy is skewbald, how light is he, very?

 

[rrose]

Black is most popular, but on a skewbald brown is better

 

[Stella]

Both black and brown are correct, but black is more popular.

 

[S_N]

Black is fashionable, but either is correct. I don't know if you intend to show him, but if you do, you will need brown tack......

Either is correct, though I am old fashioned and prefer brown. If you are buying secondhand then sod the colour it is what fits the horse and your budget. If buying new I aways opt for brown.

 

[KatB]

Lol! Well you know I prefer brown on him, but jut struck me what was considered correct...

Thankies!

i used black and brown?!
I have a black mare, who would obviously look a bit silly in brown, so she has a black dressage saddle, and bridle, and a bay boy, who has brown tack!

Mine is black x

I use & prefer brown but it is far easier to get black as there is so much of it about. I would imagine that around 90% of second hand dressage saddles for sale are black
