If I leave the arena I use a crupper (round, witherless mare) and on
trail rides I add the breast plate.  Attach the crupper and be sure it
is sitting nicely against the base of the tail, then slide your hand
under it midway and turn your hand up and edge that's how much, or how
little,  slack you should have.  Long Riders' has several good
looking, reasonable, and well made choices.
