 Favorite rain gear on a budget.....Army Navy 
surplus camouflage (sp?) poncho....a coated nylon with hood....fits over helmet 
so no water down the neck....Sides are snapped together, so they are 
vented...and large enough to cover saddle and most of horses' butt, and 1/2 way 
down my legs and I am  5' 7"

  Is it going to hurt my horse to ride in the rain if I have a 
    rump rug on her?  It won't stop raining here and I am tired of 
    waiting.  I'm also wondering, is it going to hurt me?  Because it 
    seems like even when I have a raincoat on I still get pretty soaked.  
   
  My husband did his first 100 miler in the rain... and it 
  rained and rained and rained. They completed with no ill effects of the rain 
  other than running out of enough dry clothes to change 
into.
