When I think of Western horse riding outfits, the color turquoise just seems to pair naturally with Western wear and tack. Perhaps it’s because the cool blue gemstones of the same name have long been associated with the Wild West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turquoise was also treasured by numerous Native American tribes. The Navajo, for instance, believed that these blue stones were good luck and that they could even ward off evil. As for the Apaches, they thought that if they tied these stones to their bows, it would make them better hunters and warriors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turquoise is also a beautiful, soothing hue that complements almost every horse color coat. Just picture this serene blue set against a black, white, bay or chestnut coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The color turquoise will give you and your horse a beautiful pop of color without being loud or obnoxious. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another plus? Turquoise pairs well with show tack that has sterling silver conchos or accents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are some of the best ways to add turquoise to your tack room and western horse riding outfits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s Start at the Top — Your Head.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No Western riding outfit is truly complete without a beautiful cowboy hat. And while you could get away with wearing just one year-round, traditionalists believe that you should have a straw hat for the summer (between Memorial Day and Labor Day) as well as a felt one for the cooler months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
