Just wondering if anyone uses cream/champagne coloured saddle cloths? As I am thinking of buying one? My breeches are always beige/cream, as are my gloves if I wear my pale ones and my stock, so seems to make sense but not sure if it's 'not the done thing'?!
This is for unaffil prelim and novice initially altho may Bd in a few months time. Horse is bay with black tack :)
 
I used a champagne Mattes saddle cloth on my dark chestnut and it looked great. I now have a grey and it doesn't look right so it is now gathering dust and looking for a new home, the saddlecloth that is, not the grey pony!
 
My YM competes at BD (all levels) and frequently uses a cream numnah - whilst white is definitely the most common, I've seen a few cream/off white ones when I've groomed for her.
 
Yes, I have cream stock, gloves, breeches and saddlecloth for BD and have seen quite a few others. Horse is bay and socks now look white in photos whereas they never looked as white as a white saddlecloth despite thorough washing and chalking.
 
Hmmm E, you might be setting a trend!
I wear cream breeches, gloves, stock and LOVE the idea of a cream saddlecloth

Can I be a copycat ... PURLEESE :)
 
OK so this wannabe dressage diva, with eventing rootes, is desperately trying to fight off bling!!!

To that end the gold piping on the HKM is out, otherwise I fear it will be the slippery slope to diamonte and patent.

So Eskadron do plain cream

Any other makes peeps know of?
 
I know the piping sounds a bit garish - I didnt do bling either (plain brown hunter bridle and a plain navy jacket for us)! But I found the piping doesn't shows up in any of the photos I have - even close ups - so it doesnt really bother me now.
