Oh it's such stunning quality, I love it! Replaced a few older sets with new Equestrian Stockholm stuff because the fit is just amazing!

 

[HayleyUK]

Lovely.

I've had to curtail my buying for the moment as I've just moved yards and had to shell out on boring stuff like stable matting and loads of bales of shavings - BUT, livery is less that half of what I was paying at my old yard so that will leave me loadsamoney to spend when LM bring out their autumn range as I'm sure they will have some new awesome colours **fingers crossed**

 

[nikkimariet]

Who else has been buying?

Me! Of course!!!!

Equestrian Stockholm Champagne, Lemieux Peacock and Equestrian Stockholm Midnight <3

The Champagne on Figgy...

Love it more than I thought I would, I'm not really a brown type of person but it's just gorgeously golden. And the fit is great, no slipping!

 

[MotherOfChickens]

do any of you dedicated shoppers know of any nice orange stuff? preferably a more tangerine/pale orange than a deeper or neon orange.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Lemieux burnt orange or Esky Mango?

 

[HayleyUK]

Mango is more yellow, LM burnt orange is a gorgeous deep copper colour.

FairPlay do a tangerine, Lamicell do a blingy tangerine.

I think pale orange can look a bit washed out so the brands shy away from it and do the vibrant shades. Have a look at the Le Mieux x

Don't know if anyone still follows this but have been spending most of the afternoon looking at matchy sets and the choice of colours is sortof overwhelming!
Just bought a 4yo by Lux Z and we've just backed her, so obviously it's time to kit her out with tonnes of fab new stuff!

My last horse was a piebald and looked really good in red but I just don't think it suits her? I'm lost aha.
Very nearly bought the Horzehood black w/ lime piping and also the Le Mieux Blueberry sets but I just don't know!

Opinions? TIA

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Blueberry would work or the old faithful.....teal :biggrin3:

LM Blueberry is gorgeous, one of my absolute favourites. LM Teal is a colour that seems to look great on any colour horse. I think she'd look rather nice in their burnt orange as well.

Looks like she's going to be a lovely girl when she's all grown up

I love that this thread keeps popping back up again. I'm waiting for LM to reissue the plum as they are apparently doing.

 

[Compoboots]

Thanks! Might just cash in and get the blueberry!
Only discovered this thread today and all the pictures of the colours on diff coloured horses is really helpful!

 

[Feival]

Turquoise is next on my list. I have Burton Blue, Mustard, Blueberry and Grey.

Equissentials Dressage have a few Le Mieux colours in the sale

Have you guys seen the new Eskadron?

How thick are the Le Mieux pads? I prefer pads that have a bit of padding

Is this a good place to confess the failure of my first foray into matchy matchy?

Fell in the love with the HKM Softice range and scoured ebay for hours for the best price on the milky aqua/silver saddlecloth and fly veil. What I didn't do was read the item description from the seller saying that HKM had got the colour wrong on that particular one so DON'T buy them if you want them to match.

Whoops.

On the plus side, the saddlecloth is ridiculously pretty so I've kept it and bought a white/silver fly veil to go with it instead and the ebay seller (annadressur/Horse Heaven) was very nice about my stupid mistake and is refunding me.

How thick are the Le Mieux pads? I prefer pads that have a bit of padding

They are thicker than something like the Cottage Craft cotton saddle cloths, but only very slightly padded. I tend to use a sheepskin or gel pad under my saddle and on to of the cloth simply because my boy seems to like it. They are lovely and substantial though and beautiful quality.

Looks very spohisticated - I have a grey and white chap and I love grey on him

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Never bothered massively about all this matchy stuff but having seen a few lemieux sets I'm in love lol.
Any colour suggestions for a tri colour mw cob wearing brown tack?? Looking for saddle cloths and ears but we don't use bandages though sometimes boots

Teal looks great on virtually any colour.

How do you and your horse find the bridle? Do they go well any improvement in movement or comfort??

 

[Bernster]

DF is an addict, she'll push that teal on to anyone &#55357;&#56838;&#55357;&#56838;. I like the le mieux sets and some have nice schooling boots with them, or like the teal, you can get woof wear ones to match.

Red, blue, greens, purple, would all look good I bet. Maybe even the citrus colours if you're feeling bold. It's fun!

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Thanks guys...I do really love teal....and I quite fancy tangerine lol

I've not seen the AW16 NG stuff yet.

I've been sat here for the last 2 days trying to decide if I really, really need more sets I'm liking the ice blue and the taupe but also like the red colour but would rather see it in the flesh. I have to limit myself to 1 set (saddle cloth and ears) but I might stretch to 2 and hope there is nothing in the NG range I like when it comes out!

I've preordered the taupe/ice big stripe and the sangria glossy pads, rumour has it there will be no more NG collections

I really like the big pads but can't use them under my saddle, possibly just as well as they are not cheap.
A bit of a shame if they stop the NG collection but I don't always like as much from it as the classic, my bank balance will be better off thou!
