My new project pony is a skewbald, and I've never had a coloured before; I'm struggling deciding what tack etc to go for.... I'm thinking brown tack, but should I go for a more 'oakbark' type colour as she's quite dark? and what about saddle cloths etc I normally use black (but might look bad with brown tack) or white, but I think white will make her look very dirty

I use black tack on my coloured mare. It might be hard to find a brown which will suit. Its hard to find a colour saddlecloth/boots etc to suit. I ended up going with lilac cuz I bought boots of that colour and found a saddlecloth to suit and I use black for dressage as it makes my mare's back look shorter. I think burgandy is quite nice too.

When I bought my new one he was in brown but since he's sort of on the "going chestnut" side, I may try put him in black. Numnah wise, I personally think orange/bright red with a chestnut/light brown skewbald doesn't go brilliantly.

I'd try for yours green (bottle), navy or royal blue, purple, burgandy or since shes a darker skewbald red might go too and look good

Tack wise, she'd look nice in brown or even maybe cherry brown (unusual though)
 
My skewbald (chestnuty brown) gelding is in brown tack, which I think looks nice.
He has a white saddle pad which doesn't make him look filthy as his body is reasonably clean, it's just the legs that are yellow

brown tack, neutral numnah black or white boots! then you are equipped with tack that can do every job, showing, dressage, hunting, PC, RC. colored tack and numnahs are limited in their uses!
