MULE TALK! With Cindy K Roberts & Meredith Hodges - Lucky Three Ranch

Meredith Hodges talks about Understanding the Use of Cruppers and Breeching on MuleTalk! Key points in this episode:

• Feeding - know what is nutritionally effective for your mules.
• Tack & Equipment - mohair - alpaca girths are ideal equipment.
• Keep your leather tack CLEAN to prevent rubbing and sores.
• Select the proper leather crupper.
• Proper adjustment of the crupper/britchen.
• Use bridle leather for your crupper - Biothane and Nylon do not warm up with elasticity and flexibility like leather does.
• Weight & Ability of the Rider - using the proper seat and leg will help your mule maintain his balance and footing on the trail.
• Crupper or Breeching? Just remember breeching has more straps and more risk of chafing than does a crupper.
