Would brown tack suit a dark bay?

[MarvelVillis]

The bridle I want to get for my gelding is only in stock in his size in brown... I've always favoured black tack but wondered if brown may suit my dark bay. Here he is:

i think a nice quality brown (as opposed to the cheap nasty brown stuff you can get) would set his colour off nicely

 

[TPO]

I dont like black tack (unless its posh dressage stuff) so everything I have is brown.

I've had two bays similarly coloured to your boy, and a couple of brighter bays, and they all looked great in brown (not that I'm in any way biased!)

I use brown (its v dark as quite old now) on my brown mare. I do have a black bridle too for everyday use, but it really doesn't suit her, in my opinion.

Brown / Havana is correct ?

I have a gelding who is a similar colour in winter, and he suits both black and brown tack. I've used havana browns and oak/red browns on him and he looks nice in both.

I'm lucky enough to have good quality well fitting brown & black saddles (second hand) & bridles and both suit my mare.

I think the "correct" idea is a bit outdated tbh - fit is way more important ?‍

I use havana tack on my dark bay, and think it looks far nicer than black.

Havana suit everything

 

[Dave's Mam]

Of course it will! It looks fab.

Agreed!

I only think black tack looks good on blacks or greys.

A nice dark brown would go lovely

Thanks all off I go to order it...

Tell that to my palomino ? mind you some people might think her colour isn't "correct" either ?‍

It’s just a colour, personal preference.
Personally I much prefer dark brown on pretty much every horse.
Agree with greys and blacks pulling off black tack the best.

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

I don't like black tack I only ever buy brown so I am very biased.

Bear in mind havana is actually slightly lighter and redder than most people realise, what most have is dark havana. A good dark brown suits all horses IMO, the dark brown I sell is actually pretty much the same colour as so many "black" horses that it looks better than black, and brown leather can age better, none of the grey-green you can get with some (even some premium brands) black saddles.

Brown tack all the way, I really don't like black.

Yes it will suit him perfectly well!
