Pink on a chestnut mare anyone?
I just got a chestnut mare, and she is absolutely the PRINCESS of the barn, no doubt! I want her to go in pink because of this, but somebody told me that she won't look good in it. She's almost a roan colored, with a flaxen mane and tail. What do you think? Has anybody put pink on their chestnuts, with success??! Thanks!

I rode a haflinger mare..
She was pratically a chestnut color with a palomino mane / tail..
If you don't know what a Haflinger looks like, google it. She was a darker one.
Anyway. Pink was our color. Baby pink, actually. She looked good in it. So I think pink would look fine.
Maybe get a small piece of cloth with a few different colors- pink, purple, green, etc and decide what color to go with.
Though Chestnuts look good in most colors (:

Not really, Chestnuts don't look *great* in pink but it's possible. The ugliest thing I ever saw on a horse was a light colored paint (he had blue eyes and pink around the eyes and a pink muzzle) wearing a pink saddle pad and wraps.. gah it just made his ugly sunburnt pink muzzle stand out more!

This website is a handy and largely true guide. Dark horses look best in pink, your horse is chestnut so effectively red... red and pink don't match.
If you think it looks good, go for it but chestnuts look good in blue, purple, and red. Maybe purple could be a good "princess" horse color?

any horse looks good in pink. think about it! grays, paints, bays, chestnuts, you name it. so, don't listen to whoever said that - they're wrong. better yet, get a HOT pink! i have a pink pad, and my horse looks GORGEOUS in it! he's a roan, so i can definitely relate.
better yet, you can buy matching polo wraps/boots, and a pink brow band!
hope i helped :)

Pink is not my color by any means, but it usually goes with anything and the bright colors often flatter a wider range of horse colors!

But....I DO think purple would look really good on her. I have a chestnut paint mare and thats her color. But do what you want ...be crazy, you should get a ppink zebra striped pad just to make that person mad! I love to see horses with crazy neon colors!!!:)
