Which Colours Look Best on a Dark Bay or Black Horse?

Saddle pad shopping and wondering what colour would look good on your horse? Here is a whole collection of inspiration photos of dark bay and black horses and ponies in different coloured Punk Ponies saddle pads and halters to help you decide.

If you own a beautiful dark bay (sometimes called brown) or shiny black horse, congratulations! You've won the horse colour lottery, your horse will probably look amazing in any colour you choose to ride in! Black is a neutral which means it pretty much goes with everything. I personally like to make use of contrasts, so I like using pastel shades, or bright vibrant colours on dark horses (think lavender, mint, baby blue, or purple, turquoise, and red). There are many other colours that suit them though, and if a colour isn't pictured here it is not because it will look bad, its only because I haven't photographed it yet!

At the end of the day you need to choose a colour that you like, not necessarily what everyone else likes. Hopefully this post will help you with your decision.
