  If this is the case then why are they used on the
riding mules in the high mountains? Several years ago
I had the pleasure to ride the Continental Divide on a
mule. The breeching used on my mule was never tight,
but did a great job of holding the saddle in place
when we went down some of those heart stopping
mountains! (remember, I'm a flatland Tx gal..VBG..) My
understanding was it distributes the weight more
evenly across a larger portion of the animal (horse or
mule) than just a crupper.
