What color goes best with a sorrel?

I am trying to decide what color of new tack I should get for Christmas, but I can't decide what color! I have lavender, purple, and pink stuff for her already so those are the colors I can't decide between. What do you think?

What color goes best with a sorrel?
If you have super clothing in the colors pink or purple, then you are just going to have to personally decide which you like better and stick with that.


I believe the reason you're having people not answer outright is because neither pink or lavender actually tone that well with a red toned horse such as a sorrel. (Just as most red headed people are told they shouldn't wear pink! But many do because they like the color!) That doesn't mean you shouldn't use what you have, but don't be surprised when people give you answers such as blue and green when those are colors that generally look better on a sorrel.


You can go onto the Hobby Horse Website and look at their color wheel, they offer advice on what colors look best on what color of horse, and they also offer advice on clothing necessary at the different levels of showing.


If I had a sorrel and owned good quality clothing and horse tack in the colors you have mentioned, I probably would avoid the pink and go with the purple. Lavender would be my second choice. But since none of the colors are totally ideal, I would also take into account which shirt I owned that I liked the best!


I'm sure you'll do well in whatever color you select. Be proud of your horse and don't be scared to be an individual. I highly doubt that the world will end if you use colors that aren't traditional with your sorrel horse, and I doubt it's going to drastically affect how you place! So have fun and enjoy!

Reply:i love purple but i really think pink is best for a sorrel, bringing out her red coat whereas purple wouldn't do that as well.

Reply:i hav a sorrel mare and all her stuff is turquise and ivy green the green really slims her chessy but (she's a quarter horse so she has a very good, muscular butt)
Reply:Hunter green looks good on sorrel's.
Reply:Well if you have to work with lavender, pink, and purple and if you have a sorrel i would go with i would go with a bright purple cuz i think a lavender or maybe even pink might wash her out.
Reply:Surely what matters is that it's made of good quality materials, fits your horse properly and is made for the discipline you want to use it for. Color should obviously be secondary to all of that - don't look for a color, look for the best tack you can find and then ask what colors they do that, or similar tack, in.





Along from that, it's just personal preference. Everybody here will have a different idea about how to best make themselves and their horse look trendy and fashionable. I prefer old-school tan or black leather, myself.
