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 ;)

Oh gosh my buckskin has worn about every color under the sun LOL...let's see, currently we're digging the black/plaid look...

Then there was black/baby pink:



We've rocked the navy blue:


Burgundy was a fave of ours for awhile!


Green...


And our very first color ever...light blue :)

One of our boarders, Cash, wears hunter green. It goes good with him. He's a darker buckskin.

whereas another one of our boarders, Silver, is a lighter dun but wears a lime green. she looks great in it!

her halter is lime, it's just a little faded.
I think purple looks good on Duns and buckskins:)

Black is my vote. I have a dun, grulla, & a palomino and they all rock all things black. Though I would love to see copper/burnt orange on a horse.

:( 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!!!!

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.

I sure am loving all these beautiful ponies! :D

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!!!!!
