What Are Saddle Bags?
Saddle bags are containers designed to fit onto a saddle so that a rider can
carry supplies. For many years saddle bags were made almost exclusively of
leather, and most were designed to fit behind the cantle of a saddle. Typically,
there were two separate compartments, one hanging down slightly on each side of
the horse.
The classic style described above is still highly popular today and in
widespread use. However, there are a number of different styles available to
choose from. In addition to the classic style, riders can also choose from
saddle bags that include one large compartment that fits behind the cantle from
one side of the horse to the other, and numerous styles that fit over the saddle
horn and rest on or near the saddle's pommel. They also come in a wide variety
of sizes from just big enough to hold a pair of pliers or a rope halter, to very
large sizes big enough for food or extra clothing.
Modern saddle bags are made from a wide variety of materials. Leather is
still a highly popular choice, but today you can also find saddle bags made from
durable, man-made materials such as nylon and cordura. The man-made materials
usually offer extreme resistance to water and mildew, and are the choice of many
riders.
A rider's saddle may require a small amount of customization in order to
securely attach the saddle bags. For the style that fits behind the cantle of the
saddle a rider may have to add tie strings and/or small D-rings to the saddle.
Most
 styles
of saddle bags that fit over the saddle horn and rest on or near the pommel will
not require any customization of the saddle as most of these styles are simply
designed to hang there while the horse is at a walk. However, if a rider intends
to do a significant amount trotting or loping, they may also wish to use tie
strings to keep the saddle bags from bouncing.
