Le Mieux colours!

[Bav]

Hi all! I want to treat my new girly to a new Le Mieux saddle cloth but I'm getting so confused with the colours!
I've been having a discussion with fellow livery and we can't decipher the colour on the photos from the Internet. Her supposed 'berry red' looks exactly the same as another liveries burgundy bandages!

Does anybody have any pictures of their ponies in either burgundy, raspberry, berry red or plum sets? She's a grey, so would look good in any, but being my first mare I'm enthralled at being able to look relatively 'girly!'

Malted milks all round as that is what my 9 month old daughter has left ground into the rug...

This is the berry red saddlecloth, it's not as red as I thought it was going to be. Definitely some burgundy shades in there!

This is the plum (although in bandage form) quite like these, nice and cheap in the sale!

Oh I love that plum! Very tempting...😍

Plum

Ooh I quite like that the berry red isn't as in your face! Perhaps it's just a bit lighter then the burgundy?

Seeee the plum looks more plummer (hahaa) in that photo Alainax then in the photos on their website!

Why do I have to be so picky!!!!

Just want to say I am beginning to hate you all who do matchy matchy as I am wanting to join you. Just been on the Le Mieux website and I want a dressage saddlecloth and bandages in benneton blue.

On a more relevant note, I like that berry red. But either that or plum would look nice on a grey.

I can't afford to do matchy matchy I just buy from their sales plus I have a Coloured horse so it just looks like colour overload! My xc colours are red ie. My t-shirt and nummnah. That's it - nice and simple

I can't either he doesn't even need the bandages I just want them so he looks cool. Wouldn't help anyway half the time he is orange.

I have my grey gelding in the burgundy, if you follow the link in my signature there's a photo of him wearing his ear bonnet (he's got the pad on as well but you can't see it in the photo). Most of my pads are purply colours

We had them all in where I used to work. The plum is very bright, Tue black horse in above post shows it well. The berry red is lovely it's not bright red. Raspberry is a tone down and more pink than the plum but similar.

Sorry to jump on the thread but has any one got or seen the green colour? So tempting...

 

[HufflyPuffly]

I love my raspberry set

Topaz didn't want to pose , and it is a little brighter in better light .

I really like the teal and mustard, but my matchy collection is getting a little out of hand

Saw the peacock the other day and its lovely, and I don't really 'do' green

 

[only_me]

I love the green

I have green and peacock, which would you like to see ? ( I have a slight le meiux addiction )

 

[HuntingfieldHoney]

Both?!

 

[HuntingfieldHoney]

I love the green

Oooer that is nice, I wonder if it will suit my ginger pony!

 

[Stockers]

green always looks lovely on ginger ponies. I'm going to toddle off to Horse Health now for a look...

I'd love to see the peacock please

 

[JLD]

I am so so jealous. I would love nice bright matchy, matchy. My Pony is hardly ever ridden and is strawberry roan and white ( I believe the technical term is chestnut tobiano with sabino ) so we already have all shades of chestnut from dark red at the front end to pale pink/grubby beige at the back end in summer with white bits in the middle so what suits the front end often clashes with the back end and really really colour overloads. The only colour that suits both ends is brown ! However my 6 yr old daughter puts him in purple which is so foul on him if become a statement ! If anyone can think of a cloud that might work ( green should but doesn't go with his pink ) please tell me .

Picture please, so we can assess the pinkness , but it might be trial and error as although a certain colour shouldn't work the right shade may do.

Loving the Le Mieux colours too - especially the raspberry. Am contemplating the burnt orange saddlecloth - any thoughts please on whether this would suit a liver chestnut? Thanks

 

[oldie48]

I've also got a coloured horse, tobiano with not much white I've got some burgundy bandages and have been looking for a saddle pad to match, i think I might go for the Berry red! I also go for dark brown and navy blue as he looks hideous in white, bandages look a bit like Nora Batty!

[Llanali]

I have both the peacock and the burnt orange, and they are excellent on both my grey and pale clipped chestnut.

 

[Bernster]

No pics but the green is nice on a grey. I also like the Benetton blue but haven't seen it in real life. I have a ceramic mint from Harry's horse, the deep lilac lauria Garelli range and a royal blue set - neither of them used but when the weather gets nicer they might see daylight!!

 

[oldie48]

OH, never thought of dark green, it looks very smart!

I love the green

Sorry they are not on the pony, I will need to get pics of him wearing them soon

I popped in the Benniton blue to show a contrast between the greens

The zilco green endurance bridle is a really close match to the green if you are into hacking/trec/endurance type things

(They all actually need cleaned, just grabbed them off the rack lol)

 

[alainax]

Grey, Navy and Brown tweed... Sorry not the best pics, just random ones I've taken of him lol!

I was selling some Eskadron sets the other day, and apparently I am a complete amateur collector! Some matchy matchy fans have 60+ sets!

 

[hannahlow]

The plum looks lovely on greys! you've made me want to buy some stuff now

Looks great thank you! Off to buy everything in green
