whats the 'in fashion' colour?

[0ldmare]

My niece has asked for a show rug/cooler for her birthday. I asked what colour but she asked me to choose. Oh the pressure

My chance of getting it right are so remote -fashion obsessed 19 year old!

Horse is bay if that helps

NB sorry it can't be pink

The poor horse would look like a giant blamanche lol

I have seen some lovely bright blues at shows recently, I'm sure it was more red/maroon in the spring.

 

[TinselRider]

I think Burgundy looks very nice on bays

 

[spookypony]

How about a nice strong purple? Looks good with bays!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Burgundy, hunter green or blue (navy or baby) is lovley on bays IMO.

 

[Persephone]

Green looks really nice on a Bay too.

 

[Decision_Tree]

the "cow" rugs seem very popular?!

 

[Persephone]

Nooooo.........shouldn't be allowed lol!

 

[amycov]

Bright or navy blue.

 

[PapaFrita]

I was going to say pink...

I think bays look rather fetching in pink...

 

[Chico Mio]

Navy blue always looks nice - may not be too fashionable, but then she won't need to buy another one too quickly! Plus you can always get stuff to match or contrast with navy without too much trouble - numnahs, bandages, boots etc. I have a bay and a grey and everything is navy! Old school uniform colour I suppose

 

[Cliqmo]

I would have a sneaky look at the rest of her kit and get something to match

 

[3BayGeldings]

Hunter green = gorgeous on bays!

 

[MrMeldrew]

gotta be the Newmarket stripes....

Navy or Green

Please not red, I bought my bright bay a red turnout and he looks stupid in it!!!

 

[Sprout]

I think Hunter Green or Navy would look good.

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

green or blue!

there are some lovely coolers/show rugs which are baby blue with navy piping, or vice versa.......

blues are always around so would never go "out of fashion" which is obv good if you are shelling out for one!

I'd have a look around to see what is available and what is actually smart, rather than looking for a specific colour as then you might be tempted to get it just because of the colour, even if the colour is a funny tone or shade. I think that more classic, traditional colours tend to look better and don't go out of fashion, particularly if they are of decent quality. So i'd agree that a navy or burgundy would look smart with a nice trim colour. I had a black fleece with a gold (or silver - i forget )piped trim for my black mare and IMO that looked really smart and classic.

Go to the tack shop, have a look round, & when you see something you think is absolutely horrible that will be the one!

 

[Nailed]

If It was me I would probabaly want baby blue,

But I know that Burgandy with Gold Piping is always a winner!

[Patches]

Hunter green with gold piping. Yummy!

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

oooooo i like patches idea!
plus if she ever got a chestnut it would look sexy on that too!

 

[hellybelly6]

What about a KP fleece cooler? he he

I like baby blue on any colour horse, its my favourite color.

 

[BayJosie]

I like Bottle Green on my bay.

Classy

 

[vallin]

I have a bright bay and I really want this rug in balck and navy for my girl

You can get made up in XC colours (if she does XC!) and no I don't work for them, I just really want this rug but can't justify/afford it for myself!

 

[asset2004]

navy or bottle green - they never go out of fashion and are practical.

 

[tabithakat64]

Navy blue and baby blue or grey and black for me.
