My friend who has an Icelandic has a crupper on her.  She is definitely stoic.  We call her "Fur-bot", "Robot", etc. because even though she can travel fast, there is no spook and no emotion.  Apparently there was absolutely no response from her when she had the crupper put on the first time. 

 

I'd say just proceed like a normal horse - put it on and let her run around in a round pen for awhile.  But then again, I don't use cruppers!  Someone else probably has better ideas.

We have no flat ground here in the hills of Southern Oregon and my Icelandic is tough as nails on the steep trails, but she's also low-withered and round-bodied so her saddle slips forward going downhill.  I have always resisted using a crupper, envisioning a rodeo.  Will using a crupper keep her saddle in place?  Is it hard to introduce?  She's a pretty stoic little thing but not quite bomb proof.
