Re: [RC] English Cantle Packs - Barbara McCrary

I have English saddle bags from Sportack and I love them. I can't stand trying to throw my right leg over a bulky cantle pack....I usually get hung up on it. The saddle bags hang down the sides a short distance and the fabric that connects them slips neatly between the cantle of an English saddle and the saddle pad. I like an extended pad so the saddlebags don't rub the horse's back. There is plenty of room for EZ Boots and a vest or windbreaker. There is even a small pocket closed with Velcro on the outside of the near side bag, and that's where I carry my vet card. Take a look in Sportack's catalog, or perhaps it's shown on their website.

Subject: [RC] English Cantle Packs



Im looking at getting a cantle pack for my English
saddle, mainly to be able to carry some extra water
bottles and hold an EZ Boot or two. I have the Deluxe
Stowaway Pommel packs and LOVE them, but Im concerned
with the pocket feature on the English Cantle packs.
Im sensitive to having things under me, cant stand to
ride on a t-shirt, etc and am wondering if that lip
that goes over the seat on the cantle pack will bother
me...

Can you modify the Western/Endurnace model to fit
snugly on an English saddle? Anyone tried this? I have
a Wintec 2000 AP with 2 rings on each side of the
cantle. Want the least bounce without having anything
on the seat. Also, a sheepskin may work but I prefer
to ride without, better sticking power for this
spin-spooks! =)

Thanks!
