I just bought an ice blue yesterday for my very dark brown almost black gelding, it looks lovely and I imagine it would look very striking on a grey connemmara too.

Another vote for ice blue, I’ve seen it look very nice on greys. My personal favourite is burgundy, my grey gelding had pretty much everything burgundy :D

I just got the Loire Dressage pad in Sage. The color isn't as nice in person, to me. The Loire pads are also longer in drop, which sort of bugs me since my girth ends right at the edge of my pads, so I may just end up selling the pad and bandages. I don't think I'll go for their Loire stuff again. Way too pricey anyway.

I think any of the 3 would look good on a gray because most colors do.

Also liking the new Eskadron colors for spring.

Yeah, they are nice, I bought one on sale awhile back. They're huge though, but they do have a cob size. My horse is compact and not big so many pads swallow him, but the cob size doesn't always work either.

I quite like my Equito pad for a Loire like pad. Nice quality. I have an Equestrian Stockholm too, and that one is nice as well. Any of the three are nicer than the Loire, IMO. Which is sort of plain and just ok quality.

Have you got the “dress my horse” app?? It’s so much fun! Upload a side on shot of your horse and then you can try on saddle pads, rugs, boots etc... it’s a total time waster but great fun ?

Here is Prince modelling some of the new Le Mieux colours ????

i really love that burgundy spectrum colour LeMieux did before Christmas but i was too tight to pay for it of course. I think the lovely Prince may be modelling it in the top left photo.

I love light blue saddle pads on greys.

I have a well used ES pad vs a brand new Loire and I'd say the ES quality well outweighs the Loire, other than the badge has rusted. I personally think LM feel pretty cheap in comparison to brands that are perhaps £10 or so more - but nobody had made a nice racing green for a while so LM it was!

PSOS I had a nightmare ordering from (which took about 2 months, various emails and starting a chargeback with my bank to resolve, so I would buy from a UK stockist rather than PS direct! No comments on Equito as I've not been wowed by anything I've seen yet.

I ordered the musk while in a literal fever state, so I'm looking forward to it arriving.

I can't take the blame for the musk purchase - it was the 41c temperature's fault. However, I am responsible for the fact that I just added a champagne one to my order, on the grounds that I've been eyeing it up for ages, it's reduced to clear and they only have Blue's size left, so it's clearly meant to be. Damn it.

Dark bay/black has the same issue as grey - pretty much every colour looks good!
