Meredith Hodges talks about Understanding the Use of Cruppers and Breeching on MuleTalk! Key points in this episode:

Feeding - know what is nutritionally effective for your mules.Tack & Equipment - mohair - alpaca girths are ideal equipment.Keep your leather tack CLEAN to prevent rubbing and sores.Select the proper leather crupper. Proper adjustment of the crupper/britchen.Use bridle leather for your crupper - Biothane and Nylon do not warm up with elasticity and flexibility like leather does.Weight & Ability of the Rider - using the proper seat and leg will help your mule maintain his balance and footing on the trail. Crupper or Breeching? Just remember breeching has more straps and more risk of chafing than does a crupper.
