Pictures please? :)

I'm after a saddle cloth for shows, and also XC colours. I know white is an easy option for SJ, but I was thinking along the lines of bottle green or burgundy. Will be interested to see what yours wear.
 
Bottle green would be nice or I used to have navy on mine. I once put my old ginger boy in a red fleece (was a hand me down from a bay) under his turnout rug and overnight he managed to rip the fleece out from under the T/O no idea how he did it but I took as a key that he didn't like red clashing with the ginger!
 
Blue is the nicest. Burgundy would be too close in tone to chestnut? I like red too. Not tried green on the chestnut, but its great on the bay!
 
my orange and white monster wears the standard white for dressage and showjumping but for XC he has a navy and bottle green cloth with gold binding :D flasshhyyy (my excuse is, he has gold in his name ;)) and I wear a Navy jumper with my amazing crocheted, green, flowery hat cover...and I'm sorry, but it's copyrighted ;) haha
 
My lad is mainly in navy blue or burgundy rugs. I would very much like him in green, as it really suits him but can never find green rugs. His numnahs are white for dressage etc or purple hacking, usually white though. Boots white. Tack havana.

Anyone knowing of good quality rugs in green please let me know, not Rhinegold.

Well I have ginger hair and I wear a lot of green and blue, if that helps... :p There's a chestnut on our yard that's decked out completely in purple, which looks quite good on him.
 
oops, and some photos,

(1) Bottle green and gold (modelled with feline assistance! :D)

(2) Navy

Plus most of my general yard stuff (headcollers, lead ropes, bins, buckets - basically anything that you get a colour choice with!) is navy/green

I was really surprised how well Captain's purple numnah suited him, only bought it because Fany needed some and we were at HOYS and Pink Equine had buy 2 get 1 free.

To his eternal shame he also has a pink fleece; never put pink on a chestnut it looks awful but the only fleece I could find at the time with a neck. :p

Ive got my chestnut in grey, or bottle blue, wanted something a little different than navy or green. Both look really good on him as well. I have got a lovely saddle cloth thou that's navy cream and gold, which is also very smart

Have you tried Equiline? Rare, but the quality of their rugs is to die for. I've got a bottle green rug from them.
