Is this still done, or have styles changed sufficiently so that it's no longer necessary?andrea.at.the.blue.doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532947489421472003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-9504509793108313042010-01-09T14:04:20.955-08:002010-01-09T14:04:20.955-08:00The use of the rubberized fabric in the back of th...The use of the rubberized fabric in the back of the bottom section it to keep the jacket from absorbing sweat from the horse, and also to give weight to keep the jacket from flying up when moving at speed.
