My mare came with a gorgeous blue sweat-rug.
It's a funny sort of blue - kind of not quite baby-blue but not royal-blue either.
The rug was bought many moons ago and the labels faded so much you can't even see the make (previous owner couldn't remember the brand - and it's probably faded a lot since first purchased anyway :rolleyes:).

Anyhow. . . . I've searched high and low for other items in this colour, but the closest I can get is nagrags cambridge blue (and it's not quite right).

I'm being really REALLY obsessive over this :p! She looks lovely in most colours, but this blue just seems to make her look 10 times more lovely :D.

Does anyone know where I could take/send her sweat rug and get some stuff made/dyed for her xc gear in this colour (just a numnah and xc sweater would be nice really :))?

P.S. No one ask me to post a pic - the only two I have of the rug are in the dark and the colour doesn't look the same unfortunately.

People get shoes dyed to match dresses, so I don't see why you couldn't do it for the tack :)
Don't know where you would go for it though, a bridal (dress) shop might think you are crazy... perhaps you can try playing with dye yourself, diluting and mixing blues and trying it on pieces of white cloth the same material as the stuff you want to dye... though that might take forever!
Good luck- i'm interested to know what you end up doing :)
