A lap robe is one way to keep you warm during cool weather, be it raining or snowing, for trail rides or warm ups in the arena. Fabric choices are a durable water resistant/repellent nylon with a micro fleece liner on the upper portion which is great for the rainy weather. During especially rainy weather, the nylon robe can be used as a cover to keep your saddle dry before your ride, or during a break. Another fabric choice is a heavy fleece with plenty of loft to keep you warm during cold weather. During especially frigid weather both styles can be worn together for even greater comfort.
The robe is easy on/off and has a wide, fully adjustable, velcro waistband that allows the rider to place the lap robe under or over the jacket. You can mount and dismount, with care, wearing the lap robe although it’s easier to drape it over the horse's neck, mount up, and then easily wrap it around you and secure the robe with the velcro strap.
As a bonus the length of the robe is such that it covers your boots and stirrups to help keep your toes warm and dry, kind of like tapaderos (or devonshire boots for the English crowd) that go away when you no longer require them.
