We too had a problem with the cruppers that came standard with harness.
On both sets of harness we use for Kilar, we had to get replacement
cruppers. Not a problem with the draft harness, we just asked Smuckers
to replace the standard size with a slightly larger 'small draft' size
for no cost. The harness had been custom fitted and guaranteed to fit
the horse (free adjustments) Getting a nice crupper for the light
harness was a little more difficult, but we found one that was soft
enough to reshape without any problems. It could be a problem to find
one if you don't have a harness shop you can actually LOOK in - catalogs
are nice, but you really don't know what you're getting until you get
get it.
Good luck, but if it is a buckle in crupper, you should be able to find
one to fit better at most driving tack shops.

We purchased a harness for our 12 year old Flord Mare so she would be
able to pull our sleigh and the Cruper that came with it was so small
and hard.
Hi Sharon,
I believe the crupper is very necessary to hold the harness in place.
If your crupper buckles on, I would think you could order one from any
harness maker. If it is permently attached, then there is a bit more
to getting the right size. Perhaps you could soak it and reshape it
larger. Not knowing what your acess is to a harness maker is, that is
just a thought.
