Pretty Pony Pastels

I must admit that one of my absolutely favorite current equestrian trends is pastel colors. The trend was barely beginning when I got my new horse and declared that all of his clothing would be light blue and navy. I wanted "cuter" colors for me without making my horse lose his sense of masculinity in pink or purple. I thought that it would be a hassle to find a lot of products with this color combo and was searching around for some good custom sites when many companies starting making more and more products with it. Now, its almost easier to find products with baby blues, light pinks, lilacs, etc.

I absolutely love the color of Rambo's Amigo Range. The price and look are perfect for teenage riders, and everything in the line (saddle pads, halters, stable, turnout, coolers, leadlines, shipping boots) coordinates, so it takes a lot of time out of searching through different lines.
