Does anyone have one, if so I would love to see all the different colour combinations, I need to think of XC colours for my new one who's iron grey, im thinking purple/lilac??
 
You know, I was looking at her the other day and thinking some combination of lilac/purple/black/white would look lovely on her.
Can't help with the BP though, I wear mine (aerowear zippa plus with shoulders, I'm a wuss!) under my XC shirt as I prefer it as close to me as possible! Then as I wear it over my navy jacket for sj I got it in navy so I don't look an utter wally. Well I do, but just not coz of the BP.
There are websites that let you design a BP with different colours, find a few of those and do some experimenting?!
 
Ah thats V, ye I think purple and black would look nice even when shes white etc, I wont be needing it yet for a while but theres no harm in looking

Do you no any web addresses where I could look??
 

I couldn't decide what colour to get, I ride 2 horses one skewbald - one Bay and my old boy is black, so I ended up with a multi coloured Rodney Powell. One red shoulder, one blue. Then the body protector is quareterd into colours, green, orange, yellow, purple. You can sort of see it in this picture. I always wear my BP over my XC shirt as it means that in the event of an accident I can get it off without having to remove a shirt first.

i've just bought my second RP and love it. the first was for my old mare and she was a dark grey when i got her. purple and turquoise - one each shoulder protector and half and half body and back (like in Pidgeon's photo really)- looked very snazzy on grey i thought!! wore blue/turquoise long sleeved top under.
Now more grown up and trying to look more sophisticated and less obtrusive so gone for a complete black including shoulder pads for her bay daughter - looks smart!
greys look fab in most colours but purples/turquoise looked lovely.
Bosworth - where photo taken? in Devon? at least with all those colours you know you can match any colour horse!!! :0)
