crupper
A crupper (;〔("Crupper," ''Dictionary.com'' ) Web page accessed August 31, 2008〕 occ. spelled crouper〔Elser, Smoke and Bill Brown (1980) ''Packin' in on horses and mules'', Mountain Press Publishing Company, Missoula, Montana, USA. 158 pages.〕) is a piece of tack used on horses and other equids to keep a saddle, harness or other equipment from sliding forward.
==Construction==
The crupper consists of a loop (the crupper itself) and an adjustable strap (crupper strap or back strap) that connects the crupper to back of a riding saddle or the other parts of a harness. The strap runs from the horse's dock, over the croup, to the saddle or to the back band (sometimes called the saddle) of a harness.〔("Cruppers and Saddle Breechings" ) Web page accessed August 31, 2008〕〔("Parts of the Harness." '"Dragon Driving'' (UK) ) Web site accessed September 1, 2008〕
Usually made of leather, the crupper loop is stuffed, traditionally with linseed to keep it supple in use, and molded into a tube that is shaped into a loop. The crupper may be sewn to its strap, or attached to the strap by one or two buckles. If the crupper has no buckle, then the skirt of the horse's tail is folded up onto the tailbone and the tailbone is slipped through the crupper. If it has buckles, the crupper is unbuckled and passed under the dock.
