Hello
I received a bit of Christmas money and would like to get both my horses set with their dressage gear for the upcoming year. We are pretty set for our xc/stadium stuff.
So I’d like to get some opinions on colors for dressage pads
Horse #1 - TB Gelding Dark Chocolate Coloring. His XC colors are hunter/chocolate/gold. My dressage saddle is Dk Brown. Black does not look good on him, so I will be using a brown bridle on him. I also do love white on him, but would consider it. I was thinking about chocolate pad with hunter/gold trim and piping, but do you think that would be brown over kill with the saddle being brown? If I decided to do hunter green, woudl that be too outlandish for dressage?
Horse #2 - Red Bay Connemara/QH Gelding. His XC colors are navy/silver. I will also be using my brown dressage saddle on him. He looks fine in either black or brown so I could go either way with his bridle. I was thinking about just using a navy w/ silver piping dressage pad, but do you think that will look okay with a dk brown dressage saddle?
Most of the shows that I will be showing in will be schooling HT’s, but I would like to do 1-2 recognized HTs and a handful of recognized dressage shows, so I would prefer to have whatever I choose be ok for all those shows.
Thank you!!
