Pack Harness

The Pack Harness featured below is made to the South Australian-style, with the high-arched, fixed tree (a lower-arched version, the Port Douglas-style, is available for packing in mountainous or heavily-timbered country).  The straw-packed, quilted panels are designed to enable the horse to carry the heaviest of loads with the minimum of discomfort.  The photos indicate the pack saddle with the breastplate and breeching only, and also complete with the Pack Bags [made with best quality leather, and heavy, hand-made rings & dees], the Swag Straps and the Pack Surcingle tying the whole load together.  The double girths [& connector] are designed to improve the stability of the load.
