Pay day = more saddle cloths

[adsthelad]

Welcome to the matchy side *snister laugh* next stop sparkle browband town

My new bridle has a blingy browband

I feel like it's now a slippery slope, before you know it I'll have all of the Le Mieux saddlepads and all of the work/support boots to match (because I can't, for the life of me, do bandages!)

It's a very slippery slope. When u start looking at the lemieux catalogue going, 'got it, got it, got it, got it, NEED IT NOW OMG MUST HAVE IT MUST HAVE IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!' You'll be at about the level of the rest of us in this thread

I feel like I am very late to this thread... but I am considering venturing into the world of matchy matchy for schooling at home (Out at competitions I like to be very boring with my tweed!!)

Trouble is, I can't decide what colour would look best on her... I don't want to be stuck in brown like I am at the moment, but at the same time I don't want to drown her in a colour that takes away from seeing her...

Oh, it's a hard life being fussy If anyone has any ideas let me know!!

Pics for reference (sorry if they're huge, i don't know how to make them smaller!):

This is a slope I'm very willing to go down! I'm going to become a true example of 'all the gear, no idea'

rosiesowner: greys are lovely, they go with just about any colour. go nuts.

Oooo, a grey, what a lovely girlie and that means you can get away with virtually any colours you want Turquoise, Teal and Blueberry are my faves on my little grey (and white) chap. I'm toying with Berry too.

 

[Pie's mum]

I am slightly late to this thread but.... A new jumping saddle is potentially going to mean my saddlecloths no longer fit due to all being straight cut!! What a disaster I am going to have to go shopping!! Pie already has a blue bling browand which matches all his existing saddlecloths. It's going to have to be Lemieux Benetton blue though as he is blue and white!

 

[Deltaflyer]

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

You *might* have to accidentally post some pics of the babies in their new matchy

So, tomorrow, hunter trials. Advice needed please.....Turquoise or Teal? My XC Country colours are a black base with turquoise and silver stars on the sleeves and hat silk. Either should go okay. I'm leaning towards the teal as the stars are nearer to that than the turq.

Elle, the mago would also work on both your ponies. If I had a non-grey I'd definitely consider it

Oh......no......that's such a shame lol That was my excuse for buying new saddlecloths, my new saddle is going to be too forward for my GP pads!

Go for the turquoise if it matches the stars better

DF, second turquoise yes in think the mango will suit the others too. I also really like the minty green one......


Rosiesmum any colour you like! As she's a mare maybe go for the berry type colours and DF's Sam can be her matchy boyfriend in his blues

Piesmum or the blueberry depending on the colours in your browband?

So the large ears fitted baby boy so serious ear shopping coming up I'll get pics when they are all kitted out be warned they are both fat chubbers at the min which might somewhat ruin the picture

Oh dear, I've been eyeing up the Berry and the Benneton Blue ears a saddlepad sets on the website of evil (Horse Health)

Fat chubbers made me laugh. Up until about a week ago Sam was looking quite trim - until - DAH DAH DAH - the arrival of the weighbridge. He managed to balloon in the week beforehand and has ended up on a condition score of 4 (fat, same as last year) instead of the drop I'd hoped for So, back on the diet and loads more work for him. Maybe I'll buy him the berry or bennetton set when he looses a few kilos as a reward LOL

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Sounds fair. Tell him fat ponies get no matchy

Mine have been svelte as whippets all winter and then because the vet was coming on tues they decided to go full on bloaters

 

[LibbyL]

I really like fuchsia too but really don't need to buy any more saddlecloths!
Are there any good facebook groups for le mieux matchy? On the generic ones I am part of it all seems to be eskadron which I am not a huge fan of.

Maybe we should start one

 

[Bernster]

Are you in matchy matchy dressage swop shop? Typing that makes me realise what a silly name it is! I've had some of my le mieux from sellers on there.

That is a good idea! Go for it! I don't have the discipline to be an admin!

I am, unfortunately I need GP and Le Mieux seems to mainly be sold on if it is dressage or CC. Was just wondering whether I was missing any

I third this, it would also be a great way for people to show off their horses wearing all of their gear!

Ok - I need help. My Pony is a slightly dirty pinky beige and white even when clean in summer. I believe the correct technical term is chestnut tobiano with sabino - he looks light strawberry roan and white but isn't. In winter he is a more traditional mid reddy orange and white. Has anyone any ideas what exciting colours might work. Currently he has Brown. ( oh and purple and baby blue thanks to my 6 yr old - they really really don't work !)

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Burnt orange or mustard? Or any of the lemieux blues

Burnt Orange definitely - We have a chestnut and white skewbald cob at my yard and he looks awesome in his orange pad.

 

[JLD]

Oo... loving the burnt orange idea as long as it doesn't clash when he goes pink ! Blue just doesn't seem to do it for him which is a pity as I love them. Maybe I should just keep him in Brown and buy another pony that goes with more colours !!!

 

[LibbyL]

Come on, where's the facebook page?

In that case - My old Bay Roan who was very pink used to look good in burgundy. If I still had him I'd definitely go for the berry. Maybe the burnt orange for when he;s more orange and the berry for when he's more pink

 

[ElleSkywalker]

The Peacock might work JLD as it's greeny blue colour? Or second DF's idea of the berry, or if you can find it, the plum or the terracotta which is current but might be a little too similar to the Horses colour?

 

[Deltaflyer]

Come on, where's the facebook page?

I try and set it up when I'm at home tonight.

I was thinking 'The Lemieux Colour consultation and showing off group'

 

[Lammy]

I need a Teal saddlepad in large but can only find the GP version when I want the pillow pad preferably. Might just have to suck it up and get the GP instead!

PS. where have people found those teal woof wear boots? I must have them!!

Let's no limit our selves to just lemieux, a nice splash of eskadron goes down a treat too what about the 'Matchy Consulation and Modeling Consortium'?

My friend has just sold a teal pillow pad have you tried eBay?

http://www.equestrian.com/p/brushing-boots/woof-wear-club-brushing-boots/wb0003/ for the woof wear brushing boots. In person it's a similar colour to the teal or turquoise lemieux

Oh no, they were on sale on horse health or somewhere for a really decent price the other week, had to convince myself not to buy one!

Woof wear boots:

or I expect the shires ones would match equally as well if you are on a budget (but who is actually disciplined enough to keep a matchy budget?! )
