I have been recently riding a semi retired hunter/jumper named Golden Eye(I believe it is due to her buckskin coat, but not 100% sure because she was free) IÂ’ve been wanting to start jumping for a while and my mom said I can once I get a XC vest. I want to get Golden Eye matching a matching saddle pad, polos and maybe a bonnet(still undecided on the bonnet) and the colors I were thinking were burgundy or forest green, and depending on the color it could come in glitter if I buy from somewhere other than Dover. Thoughts please? SheÂ’s a buckskin so I want what will watch the best.

I quite like Hunter Green, its darker than forest green and personally I think darker colours look smarter.

I would go for the glitter if i were you. But thats just me. Im training to barrel race so for us it's the more bling the better.

I also like hunter green. It's my color for my chestnut and its became one of my favorite colors :) I'd say definitely no glitter though.

Glitter is fun for at home but not out competing

I, personally, would deck out a buckskin in black to match the horse's points. Black goes with anything, so you could put a splash of color on yourself if you felt like it. Plus jumping is very formal and conservative. The only type of competition in the horse world that's more straight-laced is dressage.

I think that Hunters is there with dressage.

After further investigation, sheÂ’s actually a buckskin dun(the only difference is the dorsal stripe) so black, burgundy or hunter green are going to be my go toÂ’s. Thank you all for the help
