Horsey colours to suit bright chestnut

[anonmouse]

I've got a chestnut mare and hardly any colours seem to suit her. I've got her in the weatherbeta navy blue with yellow trim rug range and matching headcollar but everyone says she looks like a boy. I wanted a more girly colour but pink I don't think would go. I tried jw burgundy numnah and I thought it looked fine but the people on the yard thought it was criminal to have her in it. *sighs* I need a colour my pony looks girly in! Please Help,
Not amused chubby ginger pony and disapointed owner

Purple / mauve / lilac suits my mum's chesnut but makes him look a bit girly!

I like a fairly bright green or otherwise a good strong yellow on a chestnut.

 

[anonmouse]

would baby blue go?

 

[Molineux]

I think Black or white

Green and yellow really suit my two gingers, but otherwise, i agree black and white look good!

Anything will look ok, you only have to look at people with ginger hair to see that.

They can and do wear absolutely anything that looks hideous or clashes!!! So don't worry, just go for it!!!

I have London tan tack for my ginger boy, and a caramel coloured numnah..so he is all ginger

As a contrast I like green

My chestnut looks fantastic in Green

he is a gelding but I think green looks good on a mare to

Bottle green and gold. Either or both. Think they look great on a chestnut. That is what colours we are having with our girlie but she is a tri colour.

My gingers wear:

Grey
Navy
Baby blue
White
Black

Stay away form pinks, reds, burgundy etc

I used to put really dark green on my chestnut - lovely. Black, white and brown are safe bets. Purple clashes so it doesn't look smart but it does look eyecatching!

Black and red looks excellent on chestnuts!

By chesnut horse wears baby blue and hunter green

i love the baby blue on him.
as said black and white will pretty much suit any colour
suprisingly red does look quite nice

 

[AmyMay]

White (obviously)

Bottle Green
Navy Blue
Brown

My horse is bright ginger - most of his stuff is blue ranging from baby blue to the deepest navy. We have XC'd in lots of colours (including navy, banana yellow and fuschia!) but think we have settled on Navy & Orange.

The only colour I do not like on him is black, just seems too harsh.

I think I might stick to the baby blue. Still can be a girly colour and means I don't have to rush out to nearest horse shop for other colours.
