What color would look best on Belle's new filly?

kindredspiritsia · 01-05-2008, 01:38 PM

Belle got her new filly this morning. She is undecided on what color would look best on her. I am guessing as she matures, she will darken up a tad to be more of a chestnut, but what do I know

.

Here is the filly in question, Virginia Babe:

I would say purple cause of those eyes and shes a girl.

warmbloodsx3 · 01-05-2008, 01:43 PM

I like green it always works with chestnuts.

rm185western · 01-05-2008, 01:45 PM

Well she's going to look beautiful whatever colour she is dressed in, but I vote green

Horses&Soccer · 01-05-2008, 01:53 PM

I vote green or purple. I wouldn't put red or pink on a red horse.

Ferronsgranny · 01-05-2008, 01:57 PM

I would try and find a blue halter as close to her eye color as possible.

atlmrid · 01-05-2008, 02:19 PM

I like blue too, even considering she is a girl, all girls like to bring out their eyes

... what a cutie!!

horselady · 01-05-2008, 02:37 PM

I would say blue and white. Good luck with her, Happy little girls

MyFoxyLady · 01-05-2008, 02:41 PM

I think light blue would be beautiful on her and would compliment her eye color. Are both eyes blue? I have an APHA filly with one blue eye.

Iwasbornonahorse · 01-05-2008, 02:41 PM

Beautiful!

I'd go for pink, I like the way it looks on a red horse. Maybe yellow.

ChasnCans · 01-05-2008, 02:42 PM

Hot Pink or a Light Baby Blue

gingerfleguel · 01-05-2008, 02:49 PM

Im gonna say Lime Green would Look pretty darn snazzy

StablemasterE · 01-05-2008, 02:58 PM

Dark purple. It would offset that pretty red color.

Jadesmygirl · 01-05-2008, 03:43 PM

My vote is for light blue as well. That blue eye on a darker coat is really stunning, and I would play it up!

Crazy4paints · 01-05-2008, 03:46 PM

I say blue to show off those eyes..

Dressage Queen · 01-05-2008, 03:52 PM

I vote green because green will not show dirt as easily as purple, and red and green are always so pretty together.

She only has the one blue eye. To be honest, I was shocked when I saw it. With her breeding I really did not expect to see a blue eye and of course, I never asked and the lady I bought her from never mentioned it

.

Kind of a nice surprise anyway

.

Belle will be using this filly for 4H, IRHA, and our saddle club shows, and of course trail riding. She can't wait to start working with her. She'll have the whole day tomorrow to get started as it is suppose to be 42 degrees baby! Woo Hoo!

I say blue, both of my fillies have a right eye blue, and I was able to find a baby blue halter that matches their eyes to a tea! It's quite stunning.

You've got a gorgeous baby there.

TBxQH · 01-05-2008, 07:02 PM

Well, I would say Royal Blue, Flourecent Pink or Lime Green! Bright colors never fails on making your horse stand out!

dproaps · 01-05-2008, 07:05 PM

I'm voting blue too!
