I like my rump rug for mornings when it is cold and I have just 
tacked up.  Especially if it's a point to point and your trailer is 
already packed or has left.  It's also handy for the out vetchecks 
when it might be cold or windy.  On the trail I usually use it at the 
start if we are walking and doing a good warmup on a multiday, then I 
pull it up about the time I can feel my hands and feet again and the 
sun is coming up.  I like the kind with weights to hold it down in 
the wind and drawcords so you can cinch them up while trotting if you 
want.  I'll also put it back down if it's getting cold and dark or 
windy, raining, etc.  I like winter and colder type rides over hot 
weather rides, so use a rump rug often.  Since the cinch cords are 
elastic every so often one will catch on a bush or shrub or tree when 
it's rolled up and then zap your horse in the butt.  That just wakes 
everybody up.  ;-)   I've only had it happen once on two of my 
horses, and they didn't really seem to care.
