Why do people who ride mules generally use britchen instead of cruppers?
I have never seen a britchen used on a riding horse but it seems to be the
norm for mules.
This is info I got from a friend of mine
who is known in the area for his ability to train mules. Beccy in Ut.
Don't really know, I use a crupper. Some may say that
due to the lack of withers on a mule you might get a more even support from a
britchen, or it just might because they don't want to deal with the attitude a
mule might get from putting something under its tail.
Plus when you pack you use a britchen and this way it
is the same for the mule while riding or packing.
