Re: [RC] Anyone familiar with mules on the list?? - LSimoni197Debby,Several reasons. Mules tend to have very little, to no withers. Keeping a saddle in place is always a problem. Mules have tended to be pack animals, many are picked up after they have had some pack string training where a breeching is always used. So, something is needed to keep a saddle in place and the breeching is a tool they may already be used to. For our Arabs we would use a crupper, but our need is less severe. I am sure you have friends who have tried to ride their Arab without the proper crupper training. They will always land on their head. Mules might object to a crupper even more strenuously, well they do seem to look for reasons to go off bucking. Lynge
