I have two of my own ponies, with other I train/show. One of mine is bright bay, the other liver chestnut. I have bought a teal saddle pad, ear bonnet, and have a matching jacket, gillet, base layer and hat silk for the bay. For the liver chestnut, I have a bright turquoise saddle pad, ear bonnet and hat silk. I have pledged to spend no more money this month/year/forever. I have just seen a matching bright turquoise base layer for sale for £12.50. This is not much, but it is a slippery slope. I've just bought a Shogun to tow them to all the lovely shows we will enter next year, hence the ban on spending anymore money ever (except for the trailer I will need to tow them to said shows).

Am I being cruel by not buying the base layer to match my liver chestnut pony? Will she feel unloved, neglected, because I have matching clothing for the bay? Please be honest, I can take it. In my (small) defence, I bought the bay before the chestnut, and so got a bit carried away with shopping.
 
It's cold. What's the point of matching base layer if your coat doesn't match?
And gloves.
Socks? You haven't mentioned those.
Double cruel. Get yourself back to the tack shop before I call the RSPCA
You're right! None of my socks match. I bought socks with cows on them from the stands at the shows this year. Its no excuse.
