Re: RC: crupper

["Nancy Mitts" <mitts_n@hotmail.com>]

We've always had good luck with the seed stuffed cruppers on our horses. But 
I do have the good softskin neoprene. What did orthoflex wrap theirs around?
Most of the endurance tackmakers who make their own wares (myself included) 
will custom anything they sell in the way of material substitutions, buckle 
placement, etc.
There's no way I can begin to make, photograph & display everything I could 
possible make!
