Discover the New LeMieux AW26 Colours

As much as we'd all like to pretend we're just browsing, every new LeMieux colour launch has a habit of finding its way into our tack rooms.

Whether you're already planning your next matchy set or simply curious to see what's new, the LeMieux AW26 collection has arrived with a palette that feels made for crisp mornings, changing leaves and cosy rides. I think we speak on behalf of all British equestrians - this year we actually cannot wait for the new season to begin after a scorcher of a summer!

For Autumn/Winter 2026 LeMieux has taken a slightly different direction. While Spring/Summer brought us soft pastels and fresh, playful shades, AW26 leans into richer, more grounded colours inspired by nature. Think earthy terracottas, botanical greens, deep berry tones and timeless neutrals that look just as good in the arena as they do heading out for an autumn hack.

And as always, it's not just about saddle pads. The new LeMieux AW26 colours run throughout the horse and rider collections, making it easy to coordinate your saddle pad with matching horse wear, rider wear and accessories.

So, what are the new LeMieux colours for Autumn/Winter 2026?

This season introduces nine - yes NINE new shades: Russet, Gooseberry, Aloe, Petal, Spiced Earth, Wild Rose, Bramble, Blackberry and Cocoa.

Iconically Autumnal: LeMieux Russet Collection

This new colour fully commits to autumnal tones. LeMieux Russet, a deep rusty orange-red, has all the warmth of fallen leaves and late afternoon sunshine, making it one of the standout colours of the LeMieux Autumn/Winter 2026 collection.

Unlike brighter orange shades, Russet has enough depth to feel refined rather than loud. It's rich enough to look smart at a clinic or competition while still feeling completely at home for everyday schooling and hacking.

Black tack looks particularly smart against it, while chocolate brown tones bring out the warmer side of the colour.

It's also difficult to imagine many horse colours Russet wouldn't work with. Palominos and chestnuts will pick up those warm undertones while greys and darker horses give you a much stronger contrast.

Perfect for: Riders who fully embrace autumn and aren't afraid of a richer seasonal colour.

Fresh & Unexpected: LeMieux Gooseberry Collection

Gooseberry is the curveball in this season's palette, and that's exactly why we like it. Sitting somewhere between a soft yellow-green and a muted citrus tone, LeMieux Gooseberry brings a welcome freshness to the richer autumn shades without venturing into anything fluorescent.

It's the sort of colour that will give your riding wardrobe a lift when the clocks have changed and the yard suddenly seems to exist permanently under grey skies.

We can see Gooseberry looking particularly fun on ponies, although against a black or dark bay horse it takes on a completely different, more modern feel.

If you usually gravitate towards greens but fancy something a little different from Sage, Mint or Hunter Green, this could be the one.

Top Style Tip: Gooseberry pairs beautifully with Bramble and Wild Rose. The contrast between fresh green, soft pink and deep berry tones is one of our favourite combinations from the AW26 palette.

Naturally Understated: LeMieux Aloe Collection

Amongst all those warm autumn tones, LeMieux Aloe brings a welcome change of pace. This fresh botanical greeny blue feels calm, clean and understated. It's a lovely option for riders who normally stick to neutrals but fancy introducing a little bit of colour.

It's also incredibly easy to work into an existing riding wardrobe. Black, navy and grey all sit naturally alongside Aloe, so there's no need to replace everything you already own just to make it work.

We can see this being one of the most versatile colours in the AW26 collection too. There's nothing overly autumnal about Aloe, so that saddle pad won't suddenly feel out of place when spring rolls around again.

Perfect for: Riders who love natural, understated colours that are easy to wear season after season.

Traditionally Elegant: LeMieux Wild Rose Collection

Love pink but want something a little softer? Meet LeMieux Wild Rose. Slightly duskier than Petal, Wild Rose keeps that soft, feminine feel but brings more depth. Think dusty rose rather than baby pink.

It also sits beautifully alongside the deep chocolatey Cocoa leaving plenty of opportunity to mix rather than match everything exactly.

Perfect for: Riders who love pink but prefer something softer and more grown-up than a bright statement shade.

Rich & Refined: LeMieux Blackberry Collection

LeMieux Blackberry brings a little more drama to AW26. Deep, sophisticated and unmistakably autumnal, this rich purple has all the elegance you'd expect from LeMieux. It's one of those colours that manages to stand out without shouting for attention, which makes it particularly easy to wear across both horse and rider pieces.

It looks especially striking against greys, blacks and darker bays, while bringing a luxurious feel to everyday schooling, clinics or competition warm-ups.

And if previous LeMieux shades like Fig or Damson have found a permanent home in your saddle pad collection, there's every chance Blackberry will become your next go-to.

Perfect for: Riders who love classic colours but still want something with a little more depth than the usual navy or black.

Warm & Earthy: LeMieux Spiced Earth Collection

If autumn had an official colour, this would probably be it. LeMieux Spiced Earth is a rich, terracotta-inspired shade that brings seasonal warmth to both horse and rider wear. Set against golden leaves and freshly clipped coats, it creates a beautifully coordinated look for crisp autumn rides and chilly mornings at the yard.

Spiced Earth is rich without being overpowering. It’s a surprisingly versatile shade across both horse and rider wear, complementing the warm coats of bays and chestnuts while creating a striking contrast against darker horses.

If your tack room already contains plenty of navy, black and other classics, Spiced Earth is an easy way to introduce something different without suddenly feeling like you've gone very colourful.

Top Style Tip: Look out for Petal alongside Spiced Earth. The soft pink works beautifully against those warmer terracotta tones and appears as a complementary colour across parts of the collection.

Soft & Delicate: LeMieux Petal Collection

If delicate, feminine colours are your weakness, LeMieux Petal might just become your new favourite. This very light pink is beautifully understated. Rather than feeling overly sweet or vibrant, it has a soft elegance that works particularly well within the richer AW26 palette.

Petal looks lovely against greys, duns and palominos, although pairing it with a darker horse gives the colour much more definition.

It's also surprisingly easy to style. Team it with navy or black for something classic or lean into the warmer AW26 palette by combining it with Bramble, Cocoa or Spiced Earth.

Top Style Tip: Petal and Bramble are made for each other. Petal appears as a complementary colour across parts of the Bramble collection, so keep an eye out for pieces that bring the two shades together.

Deep & Luxurious: LeMieux Bramble Collection

If you're someone who automatically gravitates towards the darker end of every colour chart, Bramble deserves your attention.

Rich, deep and inspired by late autumn berries, LeMieux Bramble brings a luxurious feel without becoming flashy.

There's enough warmth in the colour to soften darker horses while a grey really lets those deep berry tones stand out. It's also one of those shades that doesn't feel particularly trend-led. Long after autumn has given way to winter, Bramble will still look just as smart around the yard.

For us, though, one of the best things about Bramble is what happens when you put it alongside Gooseberry or Wild Rose.

Top Style Tip: Pair Bramble with Gooseberry for one of AW26's more unexpected combinations. The deep berry shade against that fresher green works particularly well across the saddle pads and matching fly hoods.

Timelessly Trendy: LeMieux Cocoa Collection

Some of us see nine new colours and immediately head for the brightest one. Others look at the whole palette and think, "Yes, but which one will still match everything in my tack room?" If that's you, LeMieux Cocoa may be the winner.

Warm, chocolatey and endlessly versatile, Cocoa is the sort of shade that works with almost everything. It feels smart enough for clinics and competitions while being practical enough for everyday riding. It also seems to be THE colour of the season so if you're choosing this collection, you'll be effortlessly on trend. 

It also slots into a wardrobe already filled with black, navy, cream and dark green, making it a particularly easy colour to buy into without needing an entirely new outfit.

Sometimes the simplest colours become the ones you reach for most, and we suspect Cocoa could be exactly that.

Perfect for: Riders who prefer timeless neutrals they'll use year after year.

Build Your LeMieux AW26 Matchy Set

Every season we tell ourselves we definitely don't need another saddle pad. Then the new colours arrive and suddenly we're explaining to our non-horsey partners and parents why this particular shade is completely different from the other six already hanging in the tack room.

The clever part isn’t just the colours themselves, but how easily LeMieux lets you carry each shade across your horse and rider wardrobe - from the classic Suede collection to the elegant satin finish of the Loire collection.

The new AW26 horse collection includes saddle pads, fly hoods, horse boots and accessories, alongside coordinating rider wear, so you can take the matching as far as you like.

A saddle pad and fly hood might be enough for one rider. For another, it's the saddle pad, boots, base layer and hat silk. There are no rules here, and you certainly don't have to dress head-to-toe in one colour for the collection to work. In fact, some of our favourite AW26 looks come from mixing the colours rather than matching them exactly. 

New LeMieux AW26 Horse Collection

As much as we love the full collection, it’s the horse wear many of us will inevitably reach for first. After all, plenty of us are guilty of riding in scruffy leggings and boots with holes while our horses strut their stuff in the smartest new saddle pad!

The latest LeMieux AW26 Horse Collection brings the new seasonal shades to saddle pads, fly hoods and matching horse wear, giving you plenty of opportunity to refresh your horse's wardrobe without necessarily changing everything at once.

A new saddle pad is probably the easiest place to start. Add the coordinating fly hood if you're committed to the matchy look or mix two complementary AW26 colours if you'd rather do something a little different.

And because the collection covers everything from warm earthy tones to softer pinks, greens and deep berry shades, there's a colour here for pretty much every horse.

New LeMieux AW26 Rider Collection

Of course, it wouldn't be fair for the horse to get everything.

The LeMieux Autumn/Winter 2026 Rider Collection brings the seasonal palette into practical riding wear and equestrian accessories designed for life in and out of the saddle.

Think cosy layers for those first properly chilly mornings, riding wear you can actually move in and accessories that make it easy to introduce your favourite AW26 colour without committing to a full matching outfit. And while matching your base layer to your horse's saddle pad is entirely optional, we just know plenty of us will do it anyway!

New LeMieux Young Rider & Mini Collection

Younger riders haven't been forgotten either.

The LeMieux AW26 Young Rider & Mini Collection brings the latest seasonal styling to children and ponies, with coordinating pieces that let younger equestrians get involved in the matchy fun too.

For pony-mad children, that's part of the appeal. Choosing the saddle pad is one thing. Finding the matching riding outfit is quite another.

And if there's a younger rider in your life who already has very firm opinions about what colour their pony should be wearing, we'd probably recommend letting them choose this section themselves (or don't show them at all if you're already saving for Christmas)!

And Then There Are the Toy Ponies & Hobby Horses...

If your house already contains a growing collection of miniature rugs, tiny headcollars and enough toy tack to rival the real tack room, you may want to approach this section carefully too...

The latest collection brings plenty for LeMieux's youngest fans, with Toy Ponies, Hobby Horses and matching accessories making particularly lovely gifts for horse-mad children.

The attention to detail is a big part of their charm. Children can tack up, rug up and accessorise their toy horses just as they would a real pony, which makes them especially fun for little riders who want to copy what they see happening at the yard.

Which New LeMieux AW26 Colour Is Your Favourite?

Choosing just one might be the hardest part.

If you love warm, earthy colours, Spiced Earth, Russet and Cocoa feel made for autumn.

If rich, elegant shades are more your style, Blackberry and Bramble bring plenty of depth without being difficult to wear.

For something softer, Petal and Wild Rose offer two very different takes on pink, while Aloe and Gooseberry bring fresh, nature-inspired greens into the mix.

Whichever colour caught your eye first, the LeMieux Autumn/Winter 2026 collection gives you plenty of ways to make it your own, whether that's a full horse and rider matchy set or simply that one new saddle pad you definitely, absolutely needed.

At least, that's what we're telling ourselves.
