What colour suits skewbalds? (not the brown & white types :) )

[cob&onion]

My skewbald cob is grey (blue) and white with black ears........wondering what colours everyone has for theres white just disappears on her she has black tack, just in the process of backing her etc so she will need some new clobber!!

I'm a sucker for tradition and so just can't see past having havanna tack - only colour I will have as I'm an old fashioned grump and just don't like black tack!! I think havanna looks smart on all colours, and should you ever decide to do a bit of showing then it is considered more correct too.

Wouldn't he be classed as a piebald? I'm confused!

How about a maroon colour - or a terracotta?

There are some good sets here

I think any other colour on a white base other than black is classed as a skewbald

She does have jet black ears and very pink skin, white base with grey mis-shapen patches (which look more like paint splashes

I have a blue and white mare who wears brown tack with a navy blue or brown numnah. All her accesories are navy blue which look great, but she's a lot lighter round the head than yours by the sounds of things.

Can see why you'd go for black tack to match the ears, so how about black accesories?

Cob&onion is correct. Only black and white coloureds are called piebald. I was always told to think of a magpie when I was little.

Magpie = black and white

Piebald = black and white

Magpie = black and white

Piebald = black and white

I tell myself it is burnt pie ie blackened.
skewbald is all the rest.

This would look nice with your cob.

In a way you are lucky because she's black/grey/white and you will be able to use really strong or delicate colours and she will look nice. Pick your fave colour.

Irish pony on our yard is white with some blue. He's got black tack (bridle, saddle, martingale) and has a petrol/navy blue saddlecloth with yellow piping. The dark colour definitely looks goon on him!

Gorgeous colour Faracat...

That's a good way to remember too.

I would love to see a photo of your cob. I love that colouring. Does she change much throughout the seasons?
