Rump Rugs

["Roberta Harms" <equiphile@hotmail.com>]

  I have used the rump rugs that Teddy sells and they are the best at 
staying in place in the wind.  They do have a strap that goes loosely under 
the tail.  If you insist on having one that attaches to the back of your 
saddle that one will work best.
  My favorite ones and also better at keeping a horse's butt warm go under 
the saddle between the blanket and the saddle.  They are made of a wool 
blend fiber.  They are also much heavier, but breathe well and even keep 
them warm in rain.  They will come down the sides lower and DO NOT move.  I 
used one without the strap under the tail and it did move a bit too, but 
never with the strap in place.  I'm not sure who makes them as I won them as 
awards.  I believe Horse Clothes by ET made one.
