[RC] Crupper & dressage saddles - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================


BTw, how do you attach a crupper to a dressage saddle? I know how
 a little t thing that goes under the the saddle, but I wasn't 
sure how functional that was. Do people get extra rings put on
their english saddles to help this?


Hi Alice,

I've never had any luck with the T -- they always just slide out
on the first steep downhill.

You have two good choices with a dressage saddle (or other English
saddle): 

1) Add a ring.  Costs about $10 at any decent saddle shop.  
2) Buy a crupper that attaches to the billets.  Many of the
folks who sell biothane tack will make these (like Sportack).
