Re: [RC] rump rugs? Why? - Chris PausLots of reasons. Mostly they are used in cool, damp weather when you first start out a ride before teh horse's muscles get warmed up and at vet checks. After you've been riding a couple of hours, then you come to a standstill, if it's cool or rainy out, the muscles will get chilled and crampy. you throw the rump rug over your horse to keep that from happening. Rump rugs are great. They attach to your saddle and you can unfurl them like a flag to cover your horse when need be, then roll them up when you don't need them. chris --- Sonshine575@xxxxxx wrote: For what reason are rump rugs used? ===== "A good horse makes short miles," George Eliot Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
