I haven't had to worry about lights for night riding yet but I can
tell you that a couple of local riders use these small flourescent
lights, one brand may be Coleman, that they hang from the horses
breastcollar. It doesn't creat shadows or glare that can confuse the
horse and doesn't swing around as you turn your head.

For your slipping rump rug it is really simple to sew on a tail cord
and possibly additional straps and snaps.

1) Any recommendations on a rump rug? I want one that is waterproof but
not heavily insulated, and that drapes well and/or has some means of staying
"centered". The one I have is waterproof, but also so warm that my horse
will overheat under it. It also does not drape well or have a tail strap or
something to keep it centered, so it is continually flopping over to one
side. It is such a pain I hardly ever use it.

2) Any recommendations on a helmet light? (Not something I worried about
in CTR!) I have heard that there are lightweight ones and waterproof ones,
and that you must sacrifice one for the other. Any good compromises?

Thanks for any & all help!
