Don't get rid of your crupper yet-age old problem-I have to use a crupper 
and breastplate on my muttony withered well sprung guy--helps them not to 
roll too....Saddles alwys did the neck creep on our hills, and the pads 
wiggled out the back. A tacky tack pad has helped me alot woith both roll 
and creepage-- but have not ridden more than 4 hours in it-then had a bit of 
soreness, so I add a pad on top of it.
