Okay, so in the near future i am looking at getting a saddle and bridle. I currently have a pretty basicsynthetic kingcade all purpose saddle and and a generaly cheap leather bridle, but i am wanting a new, really nice saddle and bridle for showing, eventing etc. for my horse. The question i am asking though, is wether to go brown or black. I have a chestnut Australian Riding Pony- but she's not a liver chestnut or anything, she's a real red. I personally prefer brown saddles and bridles as i think they look more natural and they stand out more in a crowd, but my Mum thinks black would better suit my horse. So what is your opinion? Please, no rude remarks or comment, i just want your opinions to help me decide...

Cheers (:
