[RC] Crupper - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== It is a matter of acclimation/training him to the crupper. Adjust it just a little looser than you may ride in at first, then longe him at a walk, trot and canter. If he is ok then ride. Slowly increase the tension to where you want it. when on the flat reach around and slowly pull it, you can to that off of him walking along side and see how he goes. When you start to go down hill get off and let him feel the pressure. When you feel comfortable get on and ride but remember your weight will pull his tail more. I think you just need to take it slower. ===========================================================When you ask a Quarter horse for something he says - Sure - and when you ask an Arab for something he says - Why? - ~ Heidi Smith ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
