CROUP STRAP

IT IS A COMMON CUSTOM AROUND FARMS AND STABLES THAT WHEN A CITY
BRED PERSON ASKS WHAT A CERTAIN LEATHER LOOP, A CROUP STRAP, IS
USED FOR, THE PERSON RECEIVES THE ANSWER OF "THAT, WHY ANY
HORSE'S ASS KNOWS WHAT THAT'S FOR!" THE CROUP STRAP GOES AROUND
THE HORSE'S TAIL TO HELP KEEP THE HARNESS, AND SOMETIMES THE
SADDLE, IN PLACE.

Where learned: TENNESSEE ; ERIN ; ROUTE 2
