Saddle Bags
Which do you prefer for trail riding, saddle bags, horn bags or a cantle bag?

I've started to do some trail riding, I've gotten tired of the show ring, and was wondering what are the good points and bad points of saddle bags, horn bags or a cantle bags. Which do you prefer and why? I know my 5yr old TWH mare doesn't care what's on her. I use a western or endurance style saddles and normally ride anywhere from 3-8 hrs.

I like the horn bags because they are small and I can keep things up close to me like my cell phone or my 32 depending on where I am riding. For a cantel bag I use one of the small soft side coolers that will fit about a 6 pack of soda. It hold food and drinks and it's compact.

Saddle Bags

Saddlebags are the bags that are attached to saddles. They’re designed to hold everything from sponges to sandwiches, and to fit on just about every part of the saddle. A must have for everyone who wants to be ready to hit the trail. Most of the saddle bags can be made from various materials, although leather was the traditional material it is heavier and requires more maintenance than many modern versions. Smaller ones are typically used to hold a few items such as tools, waterproofs, food, first-aid kit etc. We need to choose the closures for secure fit that doesn't slide and distribute the weight safely.

SaddleOnline Inc. shopping guide can help you find the right saddlebag for your situation, whether you’re going on a short, casual ride or multi-day trek. You’ll find a bag to fit your saddle, whether you ride in a Western, trail/endurance, Australian stock, or English model. When choosing your saddlebag, consider price. Leather and oilskin are typically more costly than cloth. Prices can also vary within each of these materials. For example, high-quality, full-grain leather with detailed tooling will cost more than plain, low-quality, split leather. The size and type of saddlebag will also determine price.

I was looking for a saddle bag long time and recently I have got a new Tough Black Nylon Saddle Bag having extraordinary look, made up of soft Nylon at an amazing price of $ 17 only.  It has got Double buckle closures for secure fit that doesn't slide. With the knowledge and experience that these manufacturers bring to their products, and the level of quality that they demand of themselves, the end product is guaranteed to be the very best that money can buy.

A quick search on the Internet will show you more about SaddleOnline Inc.
