Re: [RC] Sport Saddle slipping - Ed & Wendy HauserAfter witnessing a couple of wrecks in the '70's, I equipped all my saddles with breast collars and cruppers. Since then many people have told me that: "If your saddle fits correctly you don't need them." "The hills around here are not steep enough..." "They are only required on mutton withered horses." Other than the training required to teach a horse to accept a crupper, which is good in general as one more rope desensitization lesson, I have never seen any down side to using them. They sit on the saddles and probably add 30 seconds to tacking up. Of course, all the horses I have owned may not have had sensitive skin, for I have never had any irritation problems.

Doesn't mean we won't go on trying to get better at what we do. Besides, if everything was perfect today, what would you do tomorrow? Slamming each other doesn't get anything done. ~ Dot Wiggins ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
