For the matchy peeps

[Mrs C]

What colour do you put your bays in? Horse I am thinking for is a bay ISH with white blaze and socks and I can't decide what colour to go for!!

 

[Ranyhyn]

What type of bay? Bright? Dark??

 

[Mrs C]

She's dappling now the sun is about so usually dark but she has gingereish dapples!

 

[ridersince2002]

pink or purple, simple
bays can get away with anything

 

[nikkimariet]

If she's gingerish I would avoid pink, baby blue, orange, yellow, lime green and lilacs.....

Would say navy, royal blue, deep red (not orange red), dark purple, dark green, grey, caramel/taupe/beige colours. The set I am using in my sig is the latest season Eskadron from Calevo online; something these type of colours would look fab.

 

[Sol]

Wait....

 

[mulledwhine]

Love those colours, think they would look fab on our little jet black pony, no hat though, Tut tut, after today I would never ride without one , beautiful horse BTW

 

[Mrs C]

The colour in your signature is lovely nikki. Thanks, will have a look at that x

 

[mulledwhine]

Wait....

LOL, could not resist

 

[nikkimariet]

Wait....

*sniggers* Have already donned my tin hat!

 

[Sol]

Boring white!

Grey & Orange...

Black...

Turquoise!

Redish... (awaiting matching bandages!)

He also has a lime/mint-y green set which I have no photos of, but looks nice! And just ordered the Eskadron sand/aubergine saddlecloth with aubergine bandages for him!

 

[Sol]

Oooh, just found brown too! Seems I'm gathering quite a collection here!

 

[Ranyhyn]

Turquoise = lovely!!

 

[friesian80]

I love racing green on bays.

 

[Sol]

Turquoise = lovely!!

My favourite I now have a turquoise hoodie... and headcollar (with matching leadrope, of course!), browbands etc. oh - not to mention the matching stable rug I bought today! I'm not at all obsessed.... (the turquoise turnout is the next to be bought!)

Turquoise is v smart but seriously worried about your bank balance and possibly your state of mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[monkeybum13]

I think bright, bold colours look nice.

I have yellow and red on my bay (would show pics but photobucket playing up).

 

[Ranyhyn]

LOL nowt wrong with Sols state of mind, hehe matchy matchy is not an illness..

no matter what they say~no matter what they say~no matter what they say

I love royal blue on bays, think it looks striking but very classy at the same time. My old Cleveland Bay had everything in royal blue and, despite being a very scruffy boy, always looked amazing when he was matchy-ed up!

haha, I only buy one every couple of months Last set I bought (until today) was at HOYS!! Also buy 2nd hand on ebay I don't see that there's an issue with buying two things in the same colour.... makes more sense to me! (I do like logic ) but then, I own horses, my state of mind is as questionable as that of all people who sit on an animal with a mind of its own that weighs 10x their weight o.o I'm insane! I love it!

Lol!!! If that amount of matchy makes you insane.....Dread to think what I would be considered as....Maybe I've banged my head recently.....??

Haha, don't think too hard about it!! I hit my head quite regularly though oh dear!

Hmm... anyone fancy helping me track down a turquoise fly fringe? Was quite depressed, had to get navy & white!

 

[Mrs C]

Sol I am jealous of all your sets! Maybe i should follow in your footsteps and get a few! Love the turquise. Would be v interested to see if anyone can find matching fly fringes!

Nag accessories on HKM, cool equestrian, classic dressage, dressage deluxe?? eBay?!

 

[Trish C]

This one's nearly turquoise:

Have seen a turquoise one somewhere in my searches (for bottle green goods!) but can't remember where... going trawling the history!

EDIT: http://www.robinsons-uk.com/product...arentGroupCode=0303&groupCode=03307#sku.59133 I think they call it aqua but it looks turquoise to me! Also try the 'search by colour' function on equestrianclearance.com

 

[Sol]

hehehe, I must get searching! Expect the ultimate summer matchiness report this summer!? Perhaps I'll even find him some sunglasses....... hmmm!

 

[trakehnersrock!]

I did start to go down the match fly bonnets route but managed to stop myself!! Have a grey horse so have a light grey one for competitions, dark grey one for everyday and -lol- a turquoise-y one (will try to check make tomorrow if brain remembers!) for turquoise/blue days. I did buy a peach one in a sale but have decided to use it on the other horse I ride, as I have no peach matchy matchy

 

[Sol]

Oh! I was tempted again today by the turquoise fly bonnet in Robinsons! But it's a bit showjumper-y and our jumping stuff is grey/orange....?? (Ok, now I'm worrying about my state of mind! )
