Hi Sally,
So far I have good luck with Running Bear's (Teddy Lancaster) biothane
crupper.  I've done (6) 25's and (2) 30's with no soreness.  I like
biothane for this because it's easy to clean and smooth (but I've never
tried leather).  Addresses for Running Bear: http://runningbear.com,
teddy@runningbear.com, 1.800.533.BEAR.
