Do you colour coordinate when riding?

[teapot]

Was just thinking about this as been surfing the net for some new gaitors which match my boots. Then I thought, really should have got black in the first place (have got ariats & matching gaitors) as brown just isn't seen as much anywhere. So then realised that I never co-ordinate my stuff at all and if I were showing, it would look so out of place.

I've got brown boots & gaitors but yet have a very dark grey/black hat and black gloves & my bp matches my hat. Just looks quite odd altogether sometimes. Even worse when you add in the yard t-shirt which is an undescribable greeny colour

Do you guys have matching outfits or just chuck on whatever is the cleanest/easiest/nearest the door?

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Well, i have black tack, black boots and chaps, but a blue gpa riding hat. I usually wear a tshirt that compliments my jods (Rather than being dressed in all the same colour or in completely opposite colours) but dont go to the extreme.

 

[Bossanova]

I wear whatever clothes are fairly clean and located on my bedroom floor near to where I am at the time of dressing

I don't colour co-ordinate as such. My riding boots and hat are black and my jodhs/breeches are various shades of grey, black, green or brown, gloves are brown and most of the tops I wear are blue / black / brown / green. I suppose everything roughly matches being mainly sludge coloured.

I am probably one of the scruffiest people on my yard, anything will do as long as i dont have to put any effort into getting it on. At the end of the day i'm only going to go home covered in straw, horse feed, dirt, hair and cr#p haha.

LOL

Oo forgot about jods - I'm either in navy or beige so that's not too bad.

 

[Rockchick_uk]

I must admit i colour co-ordinate with my horse lmao!

For example i have a black polo shirt with gold embroidery with mine and Indi's name on and he has a black and gold numnah with our names on too.

I also have a blue white and red rugby shirt that i ride in that matches with a blue white and red numnah with our names on lol

plus loads of other matching outfits! I think i have a problem!

 

[JessPickle]

Nope Pickle usually wears all green unless I am in a slightly mad mood and put his saddlecloth with monkeys on it (bought as a pressie hehe) on him. Then I usually where anything that i hope will stop be sun burning too much/whatever will keep me warm and is in the my cupboard. Then my hat silk is blue and white and his boots are red and blue!

WRT tack I do coordinate. All my tack is brown, as are my chaps and Ariats.
Jodhs - Anything goes and the same applies to my clothes. I can't afford to colour coordinate and I wouldn't bother anyway.
My horse is different. I tend to stick to blue and yellow for rugs/ as his 'show colours'. He has blue and brown and black and white saddlecloths and his bandages are roughly those colours.

 

[sugarnspice]

Yes

very much so, green as much as possible

Girths, numnahs, boots, jodphurs, haynets, buckets. If not Green then black (for boots etc) we have 2 green cars as well but thats nothing to do with me!. However I do have a havana saddle but it came with him, have a Havana brdle he came with too but don't use it much. Tend to use my black one, it doesn't look to bad (I don't think

)

 

[trelawnyhorses1]

yes i do co-ordinate my clothes and my horses have co ordinating boots rugs etc. but as i work with horses and have to present horses to clients i think its important that i look smart. but i try to go for as practical colours like navy, khaki, brown which is very in atm lol

 

[druid]

Just a little..have matching polo/ rugby shirts or vests to go with polo wraps & saddle clothes

 

[xxcharlottexx]

i dont purposly colour co-ordinate but i do love it when we match

eg yesterday neddy had blue numnah and blue over reach boots, i had blue jods and blue coat... we looked very smart

 

[KateStartin]

I generally put whatever clothes on that i pick up off floor at about 6.15am, then finally wake up properly a few cups off tea and a couple of hours later and realise that im wearing the most random outfit!

 

[Mid]

Nope, because I ride so many different horses, all with different coloured tack and saddle blankets ect, and have so few clothes! xD I usually try to look smartish though, and do have all navy blue gloves, schooling whip and hat cover, but that's only because I bought them from the same place... ^^

 

[ColleenIsh]

I sometimes do, I normally wear navy or black jods with navy t shirt and my joules bodywarmer and joules hat .

 

[tabithakat64]

I like certain colours grey, navy baby blue and most of my rugs, numnahs, headcollars are those colours because i will opt for one of them if given a choice when buying things & all my tack is black. My riding wear is whatever I throw on, and is never co-ordinated and I never match my horse.... So all in all no

 

[Breezesbenefactor]

Ditto

[Chex]

I don't colour coordinate at all. I did buy everything for Chex in red, so he sort of matches, but I just shove on whatevers closest when I get ready in the mornings. I only match if I'm doing xc, then I wear a red and black rugby shirt to match my hat and his stuff.

 

[baby_dudley]

Oh yes! Frank is all in purple now, and i tend to wear navy/black jods with either pink/yellow/purple tops!

Of course all his grooming kit is purple too

 

[teapot]

funny how some people dont care and others are like musttttttt match up

 

[Capriole]

yes i colour co-ordinate, everything i wear is poo coloured
