what colours for a chestnut

[Rache]

I know what yet another "what colour" post so im sorry. But im really stuck what to go for. Ive tried baby blue which i think suited and everyone keeps saying bottle green but all chestnuts have bottle green so what looking for something a little different.
What do you think?

Sorry im riding bare back, with boney whiters, never again

a very dark purple looks good - not the sugary sweet colours but like the colour of the old hoys rugs.

I do love dark green on chestnuts I have to say, but my old mare, similar colour to yours, looked stunning in cornflower blue and also cream.

everyone says don't use red as it clashes but i love it!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Luxury-Horse-...Horse_Wear_Equipment&var=&hash=item76becbe7ff

Really dark hunter/bottle green looks gorgeous on chestnuts, this is what i have on my boy

The best colours to go with a Chestnut are:
Navy
Cornflower Blue
Black
Bottle/Hunter Green
Dark Purple

Chestnuts are difficult to match colours up to. Pink and Red clash insanely with them.

royal blue looks fab, navy, green, very pale yellow, coffee, light blue, purple, also I think sage green looks amazing- i have an entire sage green set

George is a bright chesnut and I've gone for a bright blue which I like and I think (hope) it suits him:

I used good old Black and white on mine, simple, yet classy, ir I thought so anyway I used to have a gorgeous exercise sheet which was dark blue (not navy) with yellow/gold piping, looked very good IMO

I had yellow on one of my chestnut ponies back in the day!
Looked lovely.

Navy and green are safe -but as you say, everyone has green on chestnuts!

We have gone through the rainbow (including pink, yes really!!) over the almost 7 years we have had our gorgeous chestnut mare and finally settled on Burgundy! She does look lovely in it!

My daughter's horse is the same shade of chestnut as yours and he looks amazing in red! I know everyone says it clashes but I don't agree.

She had him in blue which looked great, then she put my mare's dark green halter on him and that looked wonderful.

But one day she grabbed my mare's red halter and that looked stunning!
