Have a buckskin and a smokey dun (almost grulla) that need to find colors! My saddle blankets are neutral and look bad on them! Please post your pics so I can get ideas PLEASE and THANK YOU!
I use purple on my red dun, I think it would also look great on your buckskin.
On the smokey dun have you thought of using teal? My friend had a grulla that she used teal on and it was spectacular, really brought out the blue hues.
I personally prefer black or white on a buckskin but hunter green and purple go well too.
On my dun she goes in pink & purple lol
For a grulla i'd say black, purple, or green
My personal faves are the burgundy and the black/plaid looks! And for dressage we always go black...it looks so nice with the black points a buckskin has!
I'm sorry I don't know how to put photos up from my phone. My grulla mare wears black and purple. HorsePoorn where on earth did you find Sage's halter? I want one!!!!! Hahaha. Blaize just has a black halter and purple 12' line coz I can't find halters like yours. I also adore the turquoise and you have given me that color choice I never thought of coz I am already trying to think of colors for he foals that will suit but a color I don't already have. (each horse has it's own color as I have 5horses lol) please post pic when you try that burnt orange too!!!! She is a beautiful mare!!!! Posted via Mobile Device
Royal blue. I go with blue for pretty much everything because it works for both genders and I have yet to find a horse color that doesn't look good in it.
Unfortunately, this is one of the few pictures I have of my Dad's buckskin with my saddle/pad on him. The pad was really dirty so the color seems a bit washed out.
The one time I've had Jesse under saddle, the only pad color I had was hunter green and red. He looked pretty good in it, though not as good as he would have in blue.
HorsePoor - what kind of blanket is that? I love it! I'm totally sold on the turquoise for my grulla... she is still a baby and kind of dun-ish in this summer sun (but she was dark silver in winter), but when she grows out of her baby hair I hope she looks just like yours!!!!!
Hey Smrobs... this is off topic, but I see both pics you use a mohair cinch. Do they really help a sensative horse as much as I have seen advertised?
