Testimonials

I don’t know how the adjustable pack-saddle from Custom Pack Rigging could be improved!

Gene Glasscock

We immediately used the pack saddle for a weekend trip to friends 40km away (2x 8h walking time). It took less than an hour to put everything together and adjust the saddle. My horse carried tent, sleeping bags and some more stuff (not too heavy) without the slightest sign of feeling uncomfortable or exhausted. Everything worked perfectly well. I’m extremely happy with the new gear!

Hedwig Emmerig Switzerland

They work great! They don’t freeze up, they’re easy to pack, visible, and take a long time to sore a young horse. They are the best I’ve ever used to hobble train colts.

Dan Leonard

The Canadian pack saddle is fantastic!

Pam Brookman

I used it for 8 days on a camel through the Kharkirraa mountains in Mongolia and the herders were very impressed. Even the cinch and latigos were long enough to fit no problem. I feel that this discovery gives me more freedom now – I can rest a pack horse by using a camel or yak when necessary.

Tim Cope

Equipment was easy to assemble, easy to use and high quality. We hauled between 100 and 120 pounds per horse on the way out to camp, pushing about 5 miles an hour. I don’t have a clue why old timers keep using the sawbuck or Decker saddles when yours are available. Similar price, much easier on a horse’s back, and low maintenance beta straps.
