Favourite horsey colours?

[casspow]

I personally wanted everything green when I bought my dark bay lad, but it seems near impossible to find anything nice green that all go together! So at the moment we are like a walking rainbow!

So what's everyone's favourite horsey colours?

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Despite a secret desire to have lots and lots of sets of brightly coloured matchy matchy, I always seem to go for white or black. My main riding horse is bright orange shade of chestnut, so she does look smart in black or white. My young grey is now being ridden, so that was a good moment to expand into braver colours... but I bought her a black set too!

If you want to see rainbow - EsterYoung has an amazing endurance bridle.

OP i am surprised you struggle to find green coloured things, i always see loads of it. I always buy anything that's bright red however if I had all the money in the world id have a different matching set for each day of the week.

black & purple on a bay Everything matches

Very boring, I'm afraid . . . mostly navy blue (for a grey). We do have some cerise and purple, and he came with a lovely green thermatex, some green bandages and a green headcollar (lost in the mud last winter) and I am really struggling to replace both the bandages (worn to shreds) and the headcollar .

Oh, and his competition Thermies and dressage numnah is/are black/grey and grey respectively. Yeah, I know. Dull .

SS (liver chestnut) has black bridle, saddle and boots and groups of saddlecloth, headcollar, rope, etc are either purple or black/grey. Black really suits her and purple against the black tack looks great too, IMO!
LL (bright chestnut) has brown bridle, saddle and boots but the leather is a fairly light brown so it's not clashy and atm she has a cream saddlecloth. I went astray when I first got her with the idea that lime green would be a nice contrast and it didn't work but due to laziness she still has the bit rings to show for it! >.< She now has a burgundy headcollar and rope combo, burgundy-ish bit rings to eventually replace the green ones and I am on the lookout for a burgundy saddlecloth that I like - although I will have to alternate 'cause the cream really suits her too!
I don't bother with matchy matchy rugs due to the destructive/clumsy nature of my darling horses x

Black on chestnut for me too!

Red & yellow for the Spaniard. He's black so it looks amazing on him! My Anglo-Arab looked gorgeous in blue, but most of that went with him when I sold him.

 

[xgemmax]

Always go for burgundy

 

[JFTDWS]

Mine are shades of grey so endless matchy possibilitie. He wears a lot of blues / reds and I have a lovely unworn pfiff royal blue pad waiting for a debut in the other room and a bright pink set and a turquoise set on order at the moment

Whenever possible I will try to find an excuse to spoil the girls with something purple, but luckily they're both shades of grey so most colours work on them. One of them really suits baby blue and the other seems to suit red more.

Depends on the day/weather/mood :biggrin3: I have a few colours to choose from!

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

I have a piebald so most things go ok with him...though I love red. Having recently discovered how nice royal ble looks on him though I'm really loving a Union Jack styleee

I must come to the shops near you!
I am the north west (cheshire) and there is barely anything! I am off the HOYS at the weekend so will be on the scout (not that I need anything!!!) but needs must

I feel so envious!

 

[rowan666]

I have my greys in royal blue,
The blacks and new skewbald in bright red and my very princess looking predominantly white skewbald in baby pink and lilac

 

[joey&jess]

My bright chestnut is in royal blue, but suits almost anything that isn't orange or yellow.

 

[Serianas]

Ratbag looks great in grey or lilac... refused to let mother buy him a pink fluffy headcollar though so we will never know on that score...

 

[MotherOfChickens]

I am currently having an orange phase but I really like most things but have never bought pink/purple.

 

[sasquatch]

Barney is in all hot pink
He is very matchy though, has 2 hot pink numnahs and hot pink tendon and fetlock boots and pale pink overreach

He also as yellow tendon boots, yellow ears and yellow numnah with brown trim, and brown tendon overreach boots.

He has a few other colours, recently bought him a lovely grey and silver numnah.

if you can't tell, I quite like matching things

one of the things i love about having a dark bay is that it's hard to find a colour that looks bad with him!

My chestnut mare is currently in either red & navy, or navy & gold. But when I bought her she came with some burgundy travel boots which she still has, and she has a newmarket travel rug. A bit mixed too, but they all suit her. All her tack is brown, but all boots are black.

In our SJ attire.

XC colours made by CustomXC:

The burgundy travel boots and her red & navy headcoller.
