Tack question

[PonyGirl]

What color is the tack?

My saddle, bridle, reins, leathers, girth, breastplate are all black. Can you show in this ?

Yes, you can show in black tack Traditionally horses are shown in havana brown tack; in Hunter/Cob classes etc you won't see many horses in black tack - however M&M's are more flexible and it is more acceptable to show in black. Sonny is in black tack as I think black suits a black pony more (just my opinion) but when April is old enough she will have brown tack.

That makes me feel so much better. I do love the look of black tack!

Yes, tack may be black or brown. Brown tack is more traditional. I think brown tack makes a black pony look blacker, but black is very nice too.
