Dyeing Tack....anyone done it?

*BaRrEL_BaBE* · 02-05-2005, 10:03 AM

This is my first February show in over 4 years that I get to ride a mare!

I am totally going all out for Valentine's Day but it is a real PIA to find pink tack that is not that gaudy neon color.

I found a pad I really like and think I am just going to buy white boots and dye them. Has anyone ever done this and how successful has it been? I would hate to buy $80 boots only to have them become practice boots for Kennicke.

I dont know about the boots, but you could buy a white wool blanket or white w/e and dye it and it would prolly turn out really good. And since it's white you might be able to bleach it back to white when your done!

I've dyed a saddle black. It worked very well you can't tell that it's dyed! 8 years later the dye is starting to rub off. That's sound so cool what your doing! Be sure to take pic. and show us!

I have saw a really nice pastel pink, purple and blue(separate colors) nylon bridle and breast collar, it was at Lammle's wertern wear. Do you have that store in the states?

That is exactly what I am looking for. I have never heard of that store before, though.

ok I will call Lammle's and ask what brand it is maybe it would help you in the future.

I do not know what to do! Pink or red? Red or white? Red & white or leather? Ack!

Stephanie, what brand did you use? I don't think you can lighten a saddle's color, can you?
