i need some help picking out a english show shirt color.

i have a dark navy jacket. i plan on leasing a horse this summer and i don't know the color, as i haven't picked one yet, but could you please post some ideas with what color shirt, and what color horse it would look best on.
thanks

I always used a white shirt, my horse was a chestnut, and I had a black jacket. I think maybe a light colored shirt with like blue plaid would look nice with your navy jacket. Check out state line and look at their shirts. What are you planning on showing? Sorry if I wasn't much help.

baby blue (with a white collar) looks nice with a dun, palamino, grey,etc... i ride in a white one with a d.bay and a piebald (black and white) in a navy or black jacket.

pink stripe will look cute too with ay darker colours.

You probably want to go with a lighter color shirt - like white, light blue or a coral color. Those would look good with a navy jacket. When in doubt though, always go with white!

what are you planning to do? (show wise?)

thrghbrdrder · 01-18-2005, 11:33 AM

I ride in a dark green jacket (odd, I know, don't know why I got green *shrugs*)Anyway, I have a lighter, mint green shirt, so maybe you'd want a lighter shade of blue, like baby blue or sky blue.
Good luck finding a horse to show! (Always fun to try different horses!)
