Best Horse Show Clothes

Keys to coordinating your apparel with your horse:

BLACK ~ If your horse is black, you are very lucky, because you have so many options.  Bright colors, deep jewel tones & beautiful pastels are all very good choices for you.  You need to have some contrast, so stay away from the browns, tans and basic earth tones.  These colors will not be flattering on your horse.  You will appear washed out and dull.  A bit of silver or gold accents make a very classy statement as well.  Just don’t get too carried away with it, you could look like you belong at the disco.

RED ~ On a red based horse such as a chestnut or sorrel, you can choose from the blue tones, greens, soft yellow, melon or coral tones.  Youths can get away with a bit more vibrant color than an adult due to there not being as much of it to stand out.

BROWN ~ Having a brown based horse gives you a lot to choose from as well.  Purple, red, blue, green, orange, yellow and my personal favorite PINK are all wonderful choices for you.  What else needs to be said?

BUCKSKIN~PALOMINO~GRULLO ~ You can choose colors from the Red or Brown based horse keys above.  These colors tend to compliment the natural warm tone of your horse.

HORSES OF COLOR ~ If you have an appaloosa or paint horse that is predominantly white or grey, you are probably best suited with a jewel tone (red, blue, green or purple) with some black chaps.  If your paint has more color than white, you can follow the keys to those colors listed above.
