it's always a good idea to try lunging a horse when introducing a 
crupper--then you can see what type of bucks you're going to get when 
you start riding :)

but really--make your pony trot and canter a bit until he gets used to 
the crupper. he'll figure it out. but also make sure it's comfortable. 
round seamless ones seem to be the best. that's a sensitive area, you 
know :) I recommend the ones zilco makes--not cheap, but really really 
nice.

as to fit, I was told: you should be able to fit your hand vertically 
under the crupper, over the croup (ie, about 4 inches of slack) when 
saddled and girthed but before mounting.
