We don't use a crupper with our saddles. The BMSS that we have for Gusti fits him like a glove...so much so, I believe I could leave the girth undone and the saddle would still stay put. I would be worried that a crupper used with a saddle might just be masking some saddle fit issues. On another note, we do have a crupper with the driving harness. We kept ordering larger and larger sizes until finally the draft-size crupper fits. Wanda
