I was so worried about my horse's reaction to a crupper that I paid thru
the nose and got the Ortho-Flex brand because it looked the most
comfortable.  Well, I've got to say that I was a lot more worried about
it than any of our horses have been. I've put the "first crupper" on at
least 10 horses and have yet to have one even care.  Kaboot almost had a
heart attack the first time I put a curb bit on him (it was also the
last) but he never blinked at the crupper.
