RE: [RC] Anyone familiar with mules on the list?? - ColleenSupersat2
My friends who have several mules use
britchens because the weight of the saddle is on the distributed around the rump
area eliminating possible rubbing on the animals tail area. And it’s
personal preference.

Why do people who ride mules generally
use britchen instead of cruppers? I have never seen a britchen used on a riding
horse but it seems to be the norm for mules.
This is info I got from a
friend of mine who is known in the area for his ability to train mules. Beccy
in Ut.
Don't really know, I use a crupper. Some may say
that due to the lack of withers on a mule you might get a more even support
from a britchen, or it just might because they don't want to deal with the
attitude a mule might get from putting something under its tail.
Plus when you pack you use a britchen and this
way it is the same for the mule while riding or packing.
