Does anyone else think the coral red looks a bit orange? I was expecting the pillar box red and obviously had in my mind the colour of a pillar box. A bit disappointed really as yet again they have failed to do normal numnahs. Not all of us use saddle pads and the current numnahs are such boring colours. I would like something more striking on my almost black pony but they just don't seem to listen.

Oh well it will be boring brown again this winter but at least it doesn't show the dirt :D
 
I had the email earlier and got very excited. Then thought....oh - nothing I fancied really, after finally sourcing a plum saddle cloth earlier in the summer. Quite disappointed.
 
I ordered my plum CC but not the red as red isn't a colour I tend to choose personally.

TBH I don't think now there's a colour anyone could come up with that I want but don't have yet LOL.

I agree, I want them to do nice coloured numnahs. I'm not fussed about saddlecloths as the sizes are never great on my pony
 
Maybe we should start a petition Procrastination and force them to make some colourful numnahs. I have just been looking to see if a CC cloth would fit my GP saddle as there is less material than the GP one. I love the Blueberry.

Could you not just buy a different brand?
 
Am I the only person who finds le mieux saddle cloths binding rubs badly? I bought one as everybody on here raves about them and couldn't be more disappointed! Also they do not wash well as the horse hair weaves into the lining. Pretty colour though!!

Quite right. I wouldn't use any other type of numnah be it cotton, lamb skin or the merino mix. They fit him perfectly, wash really well and I've never had one rub anywhere. As previously stated my only gripe is the lack of colours in the numnah range.

I used to agree with this but they don't have Velcro on the girth loops any more (boo boo)

It's my favourite thing about them! I hate the faff and bulk of them being tied under the flap, plus under flap ones move a lot more. At least on the d rings I can kee an eye on it. And make sure it doesn't move flat.
