[RC] Rump Rugs - rides2far

O> I made several from polar fleece.  Yes, I did dart them.  The 
"pattern" I
used was to spread out a winter blanket and trace the pattern of the 
shape
of the butt

Mine snaps to the back of the saddle but bounces up under my rump when
rolled up. Here's how I'm going to make my next one if I ever get my
Singer Tredal (sp?) sewing machine fixed. I want to make mine take up
like venetian blinds. It's got to be fast and easy. None of this stopping
and trying to roll it up. I want two double seams forming tubes, one even
with each ring on back of the saddle, then I'll run a draw type string
through it. Then I want one of those little plastic thingies like is on
the loop to your stuff sack...you just squeeze it and pull the cord
through. I should be able to grab that thing, squeeze, pull the string
and the rump rug bunches up behind the saddle again. Bingo! :-) 

I put a slot in the middle of my rump rug so I can attach it to the
crupper to keep it from flopping over to one side. It's got duct tape on
it now but should have a piece of velcro that could just be stuck down to
stabalize it. Right now I only use one after dark on a 100, but if it
could take up fast I might be more likely to use one on a cold morning.
