Also carriage colours and uniform colours for French, Ducth and British artillery....Thank you :D

Oh. I assumed "saddle clothes" were what one wore in the saddle.

Like hunting pinks.

Or plate armour.

Or a Def Leppard t-shirt, green sombrero, very short black shorts and leopardskin thigh boots (now that was a weekend!)



I remember seeing a girl on a magnificent chestnut. Her rather apt t-shirt said "of course I'm smiling, I've got 14 hands between my thighs".
