For a showing class - ie cob/WH, does the numnah and girth need to match the color of the saddle or the horse?!
Said horse is colored with white being the main color under the saddle area
Also are the lambswool WH discreet ones correct under a WH saddle?
Thanks :)

I think for cob /WH classes a leather girth is what I prefer, I showed my grey cob at county level with a leather girth, discrete brown sheepskin numnah that matched the saddle.

The girth should match the colour of your saddle, yes to be correct brown is the tack you should use,my tack is black and we show in that at a local level.If you have to use a numnah then again one that matches your saddle, if you do not need one then do not use one.

Without exagerating around 99% of the showing numnahs we sell are brown. Make it very discreet, you don't want to see any of the numnah ideally so look for one that's close to the size/shape of your saddle rather than buying one that has the usual 1-2” showing around the saddle.
