mad saddle question....

[Angua2]

I am on the hunt for a new jumping saddle, and I have found one- I think, ticks all the boxes bar one. So have booked a fitting and am sitting here hoping that it is still there in 3 weeks time.

Now for the mad question. If it ticks all the boxes bar one, and really is your dream saddle, in budget etc would the fact it is the "wrong" colour stop you?

Basically it is brown not black.

*sigh* I did have to be forcibly removed from the saddle

And Brown on a chestnut works..... yes???

Brown is correct. Black is fashion.

You should get the saddle and then show that it doesnt matter what colour it is if you can go clear.....!!! Go for it!

 

[rossiroo]

As long as it fits the horse perfectly colour doesn't really matter does it?

I personally prefer brown

 

[Chestnuttymare]

my chestnut has a brown saddle and looks lovely . I am a traditionalist, i don't really like black tack.

Oh bless you all...... that has set my mind at ease.... fingers crossed that the saddle is still there for the fitting in 3 weeks.

its funny, I have always been very pragmatic about colour, it was the function etc that mattered. And now look at me, the saddle of my dreams, no scrap that, the expensive saddle of my dreams and I have to be ridculous *snigger*

Ah well, just another excuse for me to go and get a new bridle for her

Some traditions really are silly, what does the saddle colour matter?

If it is your dream saddle and within budget, and fits you and your horse I would be tempted to get it

I would get it. I wanted brown but the saddle I loved was black, bought it anyway.
