A device for stabilizing an animal's tail and preventing the animal from licking and biting the tail may include a collar designed to encircle the animal's neck; a belly strap attached to the collar and designed to be positioned along an underside of the animal's stomach; a spine strap attached to the collar and designed to be positioned along the animal's spine; a chest strap attached to both the belly strap and the spine strap, the chest strap sized to encircle the animal's ribcage; a waist strap attached to both the belly strap and the spine strap, the waist strap sized to encircle the animal proximate to the animal's waist; and a rear pad with a tail sleeve extending outwardly therefrom, the tail sleeve sized to accommodate the animal's tail, wherein the rear pad is attached to the spine strap and the waist strap.

A tailset crupper for an animal, such as a horse, may be made from a solid casting without lightening features, such as to produce a heavier, less easily dislodged object, such as may have a lower center of gravity, and a center of gravity located closer to the surface of the animal. The trough of the crupper may be predominantly open from below. The distal end of the crupper may have a large curl the bends on a large angle partially back toward the horse. The crupper may be substantially spoonless. That is, the protrusion at the front end of the crupper may be small, and may by shy of the cushioning on either side.
