[RC] [RC] Cruppers... help :) - Queenofdimonds10 - DRG1
Hi,
Search on eBay for Amish made harness leather cruppers.
Theres a lady there who sells them.
Just make sure you send a “Ask Seller a Question”
about that’s its really Amish & reallyHarness
leather.
Also ask them, since they are selling it – how do you
measure the right size – they ought to know…
I think the problem you are having is due to the material. I
have had a lot of luck with harness leather (already soft & broken in).
Another type of great leather is Hermann Oak, but there are
different grades of this (for example, I have a Crates saddle made of Hermann
Oak, & a “Sawtooth Saddle Company” http://www.sawtoothsaddle.com/index.htm
saddle made of Hermann Oak, but the Sawtooth is so very much softer &
better, & conforms to me & the horse like a glove. So you have to ask
for the highest grade of Hermann Oak (it has to do with the tanning process). The
Crates saddle feels like a piece of junk, by comparison, but one gets what they
pay for, & Crates is not a “cheap” saddle really - $1600.
Another option besides eBay, is to call a place like
Sawtooth, ask them how to measure for a fit, then get one made by them in that wonderful
Hermann Oak leather (the softest grade, I would think).
