Pay day = more saddle cloths

[ElleSkywalker]

There is..... but sadly the choice on mini matchy is not so good prize for anyone who finds mini matchy in cool colours

 

[Deltaflyer]

Okay matchy fans, disaster.... turns out my babies are too little for the large saddle cloths, which means........more shopping!!!

Shame there isn't such a good choice in small/med tho :rolleyes3:

Oh, that's a shame. Wonder why they don't offer the same colour choices in small and large.

My Burnt Copper dressage saddle pad arrived today and the turquoise tendon/fetlock boot set.

Also......The Le Mieux Blueberry got premiered at Bury Farm last Sunday

my small ponies have Horze, Hy Speed and Equitheme saddle cloths and also Le Mieux pillow pads (they are smaller than their normal saddle cloths) the Horze ones come in some good colours

These look ok though:

well I don’t know what’s wrong with me.... having posted recently about the number of saddle cloths I owned I then had a massive clear out at a tack sale. I have since bought a couple of new Le Mieux pads... but somewhere along the line something has gone wrong, I bought white, black, and grey ! I’m not sure why but my lust for bright colours seems to have gone ?! I was lusting after the Teal, like, forever!! I’m even thinking of toning down my XC colours to a plain white pad and just a coloured silk and top. I love the Le Mieux tweed colours, shame they only come in dressage cut.

 

[LibbyL]

Okay, I weakened and have ordered a Burnt Copper dressage pad.......AND.......a set of turquoise tendon and fetlock boots **looks sheepish**

Don't suppose they are cob size? Friend can't find any turquoise cob ones and she is desperate! If they are would you mind me asing what make? Makes me thankful I stick to boring black on her legs!

 

[Deltaflyer]

I use the Le Mieux large dressage and CC on my 15.1 connie x. He's very compact and has a 17" saddle and they fit fine. In fact, the M (cob) would be a bit on the small side.

Sorry I mean the boots
I manage an L GP on my 14.1hh too, love that they fit because not all colours come in M

Ahh, right. Yes, I use the M on my boy but I agree they would be way too big for a 14 handers little legs. The set of boots I got are the Norton

I saw some woof wear boots today with teal coloured tabs LibbyL

Heart skipped a beat or twelve earlier when I spotted a burnt orange saddle cloth, in medium......but is was a dressage pad. Gah. Babies a long way off dressage.

Deltaflyer they have really short backs so only take 16 1/2 saddles so the large is way to long. It's ok on gingerface who is 1.5" bigger than babies and takes a 17" saddle. Damn midget ponies :mad3:

 

[Feival]

I've got Benneton Blue and Mustard, I want peacock green and Burnt orange next. Winnie wears large because she built like a hippo!

Maybe if you guys with midget ponies all lobby Le Mieux they'll do something. I seem to recall when they brought out the Teal it was only originally available in Dressage. I emailed them and discovered that they had received so many requests to produce CC in Teal that they did so.

Certainly can't lose anything by trying

I just looked on the Horse Health site and they do the ProSport Suede GP Squares in Small/Medium and the turquoise is currently in stock !

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Good point DF, I was talking to the guy and Burghley wingeing that they needed to bring out teal ears and he said the same, had so many requests that they were bringing them out

[LibbyL]

Thank you both!

Just got turquoise fly veil and think it might be too small on my pony shes only 14.1hh so assumed medium would be okay but not sure! Will take a picture tomorrow

Yep, I have have the choice of turquoise and fuchsia. I got over excited last night and put a full set of both plus teal and peacock ears in basket on horse health website.......they came to nearly 200 quid so I bottled it! Am so ashamed

I am sorely tempted to get the berry, it will look so pretty on my pretty bog pony

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Ooooo yes it would!

 

[Deltaflyer]

Ooooo yes it would!

But..... I also need ears to match what I already have too - too many choices and too little money LOL

So, are you going Fuschia or Turquoise this time round then ?

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Am tempted by both but also need the ears too for teal and peacock hence the 200 price tag. Might be a long haul purchases over a few months

Both babies being backed at the min and the girl is bay so the turquoise would look best on her meaning the little boy would have the fushcia when I tried the plum and peacock on them both suited both however

OOoh, lovely ponies

The black should look great in any colour except brown. The bay, well, I'm pants at picking colours for bays. I used to have a dark bay mare and she looked nice in burgundy (mind you, there just wasn't the choice back in those days). TBH, on the bay I rather think the Esky mango would look very nice.

They do ears and bandages to match.

I think a forest green looks gorgeous on bays. Saw a bay once with this colour on and he looked so handsome.

[LibbyL]

Gutted turquoise ears are definitely too small on my 14.1hh, literally can't believe she would be a large so think I will have to give up on the matching fly veils

Anybody want a turquoise medium fly veil?!

 

[AceAmara]

I’ll buck the trend and say brown and grey actually look really good on a black horse

 

[adsthelad]

Just found this thread after ordering two CC Le Mieux saddlecloths for my boy, as my super-forward custom jumping saddle should be here soon! I bought him Benetton Blue and Mustard, so excited for them to arrive. He's going to look very smart
All I want to do is buy more, I am not exaggerating when I say I want ALL of the colours. I think my next purchases might be the Berry and also a Beige...but then the Teal/turquoise colours are lovely...! I know where all of my money is going to go from now on

Possibly, I have some peacock large ears to try on this eve before I decide what size ears babies need.

I *might* have accidentally bought the fushcia and turquoise in pony today at Chatsworth......... babies first matchy

DF I love that mango

Gingerface used to have all her stuff in forest or British Racing green. She is a full ginge and looked awesome in it

Grey might be nice on him, I say he's black but he's genetically smokey black which sadly is less exotic than it sounds and just means he looks a bit faded in places. He has a cute grey snozzle tho
