Color for a chestnut?
I know there are probably a million of these questions but anyways. I am going to order a new saddle pad to fit under my saddle better than what I have. But I'm torn on the color. My gelding is a chestnut Appaloosa, he has 4 high white socks, a big wide blaze, as well as a spotted hindquarters that extends to his withers, he also has a white spotted stomach. His original color I was going to use for him is blue, he looks good in it but I also have a fly bonnet that is hunter green and it looks cute on him. I also think burgundy would look cute on him. I want to eventually do jumpers with him, and I want a less bold color that is more reserved mostly because he is so loud him self with all of his white I don't need a bright saddle pad color to draw attention to us. I was going to order all 3 since they are half off but, I don't see why I would need ever single one and I need to buy other things as well as this saddle pad.
I attached a picture of the saddle pad colors the blue I'm talking about is the more of a royal one, the hunter green is the 6th from the bottom, and the burgundy is second to last. My gelding is also more of a coppery penny type chestnut.

Avoid any reds.
Either go for contrast with blues and greens, or bright white.
Or go for subtle with natural off white, tan, sand, black.

I've always been partial to light blue on chestnut horses; however, this color tends to be bright and draw unwanted attention.
Go with hunter green. This color looks great on chestnuts, and it doesn't draw much extra attention.

I was thinking blue but it's bold so I'd go with the hunter green. 😍 Any would look cute though!

Buy blue and see how it looks - if it is not to your liking you can always get another later
