Bling is a big no no on anything.

A coloured cob is a big no no without the bling.

???A coloured cob is a big no no without the bling.
I have a straight, wide bling browband for my not-coloured cob. I’m at the age where I don’t worry about what anyone else thinks ?

I always thought not to be honest. I think bling can be got away with on a solid coloured head, I wouldn’t even put anything on my bay with a blaze!

My horses (and dogs) are no bling zones. Only my 5 year old granddaughter gets to wear a tiara.

For showing it's a big no, for anything else you can be as bling as you like

It's not something I would do as I'm not a fan of bling full stop but I wouldn't judge someone else for doing it. In fact, I think I'd rather a straight but subtly bling browband to a scooped but plain one. They just look saggy to me.

I REAAAAAALLY want some bling for my cob - but he needs custom browbands for his enormous head. The sheer amount of shininess might distract from my rubbish riding!

Love it, that really is full on Christmas tree. ? Nobody could say they didn't see you!

Your horse, do what you jolly well please. Apart from showing obvs but that's a bling free zone anyway.
Not sure a bling browband and a shaggy, unplaited forelock would be the best combination though. Grease and snagging and not much point in the bling if you can't see it!
But in terms of aesthetics, if you like how it looks then why not?

I was always anti-bling on anything, especially a cob, but then I fell into the matchy-matchy, and once you're matchy-matchying, you have to bling. Them's the rules.

I think she's beautiful Pippity - classy choice, and I'm pretty sure i had a lot to do with you joining team shiny ?
Now who wants to persuade me to buy new shinies for supercob's double bridle

I’m not really a bling fan, but I do like the baroque/medieval styles:
found these on Etsy
Last one may be a bit OTT!

Seeing how good Supercob looked was definitely an influence! We also have similar Christmas tree style:
Although the LED wrap on a curved browband does make it look like a 1980s gym headband! Thankfully she's got a sensible, straight browband for it now.
And of COURSE Supercob needs new shinies!

this is why i have a patent browband for my welshie with a giant forelock. she can wear bling when she's plaited but otherwise her fringe would rip the crystals out

Yes to bling! This face is beautiful. I want to draw attention to it. We have two different diamante browbands too. It never entered my head not to buy pretty things for her just because she's a cob!
