I have bright hot pink stuff for my mare for barrel racing & contesting. Is that a good color on her? What are some other good colors?

here are some pics.

  1. Red and black rock on Sorrel horses. My friend has one and the Red is just like BAM! and you know all eyes are on you just like the black but the black is more calmer in notice. But pink is so adorable on her! also why not hunter green and blue those colors would look awesome too!


  2. DARKISH RED, HUNTER GREEN, DARK DARK PURPLE, ROYAL BLUE/NAVY AND WHITE.

    IN BARREL RACING MY LITTLE SORREL ARAB MARE WEARS THIS.

    BROWN BRIDLE

    BROWN SADDLE (LIKE YOU HAVE IN THE PICTURE!)

    BROWN BREASTPLATE

    NAVY BLUE SADDLE PAD OR NUMNAH

    NAVY BLUE FABRIC BRUSHING BOOTS

    I WEAR...

    BROWN BOOTS

    NAVY BLUE JODPHURS

    WHITE AND BROWN STRIPED POLO SHIRT

    **HOPE THIS COULD HELP**

    PINK IS ALSO QUITE NICE BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS HOW DARK A SORREL HORSE YOU HAVE.

  3. almost any shade of green or blu would look good. the royal blue will really bring out the red in her color. I have also used neon green

  4. that's a great color on her, you could also try some bright turquoise tack as well

  5. I really really like hunter green on sorrels. If you want to go with a brighter color something like teal or turquoise would look pretty cool too.

  6. I think the pink clashes with the red tones in her coat, but hey, that's just me.  I think she'd look nicer in a jewel tone (green, blue, purple), but sorrels also look surprisingly good in black or white.  They aren't exciting but they are sharp and clean looking.

  7. it's a good color on her. Bright colors look good on sorrel horses.

  8. red. my friend has one and his "color" is red. like at our barn, we like to coordinate colors for our horses (halter, lead rope, saddle pad, polo wraps, etc) for fun.. so my friend has a sorrel and he looks amazing in red. its really pops with sorrel and chestnut horses

  9. green i have quite a fewhorses like that that looks good in green

  10. Beautiful horse! Pink looks fine, but I've always liked royal blue. Hunter green might look good too.

  11. Here is a cool color wheel that shows what goes with what. It is very helpful!!

  12. the pink looks awesome, another cool color would be orange, but i like the pink, i have three horses that are basically mine, they all have all blue, bright but regular blue, except my one horse, the bridle and bit would take for ever to detach all the time, so it is a tan leather!!!

  13. I personally like cooler colors on sorrels.  Blue, green, turquoise, purple.  But not red, orange, or yellow.  Pink is OK, but I like the cooler colors - they really complement the redish-orange of the horse.  But of course that's if you want to go bright.  I prefer the neutral colors, brown and black, but then I ride English and we don't do many neon colors.
