Dark bay horse owners?

[tricksibell85]

What colour is your tack?

 

[Damnation]

Either

It was black when I bought her, now it is brown, but I am considering buying a black GP saddle so I will have to biy a matching black bridle.. So I will have a set of tack, one each colour

Personally I prefer nice havana tack on a dark bay.

Black, only because the saddle he came with is black. i think he would suit dark brown tack so will consider this when i get him a new saddle....I hate the tan tack though

 

[Darkly_Dreaming_Dex]

Dark Brown!

 

[Leg_end]

Black... I did consider dark chocolate brown when I changed my saddle but then realised it would be really difficult to match the colours for bridle etc. I think it looks really smart but its so easy to colour match black!

My mare is more of a bright bay, but the horse I had before her was dark bay. I've always had black tack for dressage and brown for jumping - I think both look nice.

 

[riderroo]

Black - it looks very smart

 

[sidesaddlegirl]

I have a set of newmarket tan tack that I use for hacking and then my boring black tack for dressage.

I like the tan tack against her dark bay coat, it's quite striking but my instructor says that I'll need to use black for dressage shows

 

[PaddyMonty]

Brown two tone

 

[peanut]

Always brown

 

[Lippyx]

Black. Purely because there is only one black, and way too many shades of brown!!!!

 

[TarantuLove]

Black!

 

[tricksibell85]

Thx all - think i will go for black

 

[kinkin]

Black for dressage a light brown/tan for jumping but either looks smart on a dark bay

Black, because my first horse was a piebald and we're still using his saddle. It works better due to Dylan's seasonal colour changes - black in the winter and dappled mahogany brown in the summer.

 

[arwenplusone]

Brown all the way for me

 

[amandaco2]

black for everything except show classes

 

[CBAnglo]

Black for dressage and havana for jumping. Both look good (everything looks good on a dark bay!)

 

[Bug]

Brown for me

 

[FigJam]

Saddle is tan!

Not intentional, but it was too good a fit/deal to say no to! Very comfy and my bum covers most of it while riding anyway!

My bridle is havana (no danger of getting a matching one!) to try tone down the saddle!

I think given the choice, havana is nicest on dark bays, although black looks fine too.

 

[0ldmare]

Dark brown, but then I am a traditionalist with regards to tack!

 

[Chunkie]

Brown when I bought her, changed it all to black because my chances of showing her seemed so far away - maybe never.

Now regretting it and changing back to brown as I want to do M&M and ridden hunter.

 

[magicgirl]

All my tack is brown, a lot of it started out as London Tan. I am old school and believe that black tack is for funeral or driving tack

 

[Liesel]

My mare is more a mahognay bay colour and looks fab in her Newmarket bridle and two tone tan jumping saddle. Just the usual black bridle and saddle for dressage though.

Have never been a fan of brown in the past but now converted.

 

[Jonesy]

black for me!

 

[bushbaby28]

black dressage saddle and bridle

Havanna jumping saddle

 

[Fazzie]

mine black

 

[amc]

I've got black but I do think havana is lovely too

 

[annunziata]

brown!!!
