We offer many colors of horns and browbands (if applicable) so you can personalize your Unicorn Horn to suit your horse’s coloring or personality, match your tack or costume, or just to be different.
You might think some of the unicorn horn colors we offer are outlandish and “un-unicorn-like”, but no one can say what color horns “real” unicorns are supposed to. As children, we loved playing with and watching My Little Ponies, which had a big influence on our horse craziness and started us on this career of costuming for horses and ponies (you can read more on our About Us page) and we therefore offer horns in all colors of the rainbow as tribute to our childhood playmates.
Whether you are dressing your horse or pony as a My Little Pony or as a “real” unicorn, below are some recommendations on color choices for the effect you are trying to achieve with your Unicorn horns for horses and ponies.
For the Most Natural and Realistic Unicorn Appearance
Horn Color
If you want your Unicorn to look as realistic as possible, choose a horn color that complements your horse’s coloring. Below are a few examples:
- Ivory Horn – This is the most natural color for all colors of horses
- Champagne/Pale Gold – Good for white, ivory, cream, and other gold-toned horses – e.g. Cremello, Palomino, Bucksin, Dun, etc.
- Gold Horn – A classic look that will look good on pretty much any horse.
- Yellow Gold Horn – Good for white and yellow-toned shades of coats.
- Dark/Antique Gold – Good for white, yellow-toned, and brown horses.
- Pink/Dusty Rose Horn – Good for pale horses including white, cream, and gray, especially those with visible pink skin.
- Sky Blue Horn – Good for white and gray horses and ponies.
- Purple Horn – Good for white, gray, and black horses.
- Brown Horn – Good for dark brown horses, especially if they do not have white markings
- Silver/Gray Horn – Good for white and gray horses or horses with a lot of gray points
- Black Horn – For black horses or dark horses with black points or visible dark skin on the muzzle/ears.
Tip: If using colorful horns, you can accessorize your horse with mane extensions and ribbons to add more color to balance out your ensemble.
Browband Color
If ordering a Unicorn Browband™ instead of a Natural-Look Unicorn Horn™, we recommend ordering a browband color closest to your halter or bridle color. We offer an array of colors to match the many nylon halter and bridle colors popular in the market.
Some customers like to order a browband to match the horse’s coat, but a browband loop that doesn’t match your bridle/halter makes the effect very costumey. When your unicorn browband is the same color as your horse’s tack (and the horn matches your horse’s coat/markings) it looks as if you procured a special browband with a hole to accommodate your unicorn’s own horn.
