Why Trail-Ease is more humane than saddlebags

If you do any overnight camping on the trail with your horse, or hope to in the future, you should know that Trail-Ease Riding Panniers far surpasses all other saddlebags for capacity, convenience of use, versatility, environmental responsibility and, most importantly, horse-friendliness. The design of Trail-Ease Riding Panniers is so unique and effective in eliminating the problems inherent in saddle bags that they have recently been awarded a US patent!

Now you really can leave the pack horse at home (or, better yet, forget about the HUGE expense of buying, maintaining, and outfitting one altogether!) because you'll be able to carry all the compact camping equipment you'll need for a comfortable horse camp on just your riding horse without worries that you are injuring your horse's or mule's back. Trail-Ease Riding Panniers are the only saddle pack that actually increases your horse's ability to carry weight!

Many happy Trail-Ease customers tell us they had previously spent a lot of money on expensive saddle bag systems that claim to be "horse- and rider-friendly," but were disappointed when, besides being a huge hassle to use, their animals became sore or injured from those products.

SO DON'T BELIEVE IT WHEN ANY LARGE-CAPACITY SADDLEBAG CLAIMS TO BE HORSE- or RIDER-FRIENDLY--IT JUST AIN'T TRUE!
AND HERE'S WHY

• Saddle bags concentrate the entire weight of the load over the vulnerable loin area causing pressure points and putting your horse or mule at risk of soring and infection which can affect the underlying kidneys with disastrous, even life-threatening results.
  But TRAIL-EASE RIDING PANNIERS distribute the weight of the load over the entire back, eliminating those painful pressure points and keeping your animal more comfortable.
  
• Saddlebags, by definition, attach to the saddle, leaving the bottom and rear of the bags free to bounce, shift and flop around when doing anything faster than a walk on flat ground, but TRAIL-EASE RIDING PANNIERS keep the load stable at ANY GAIT and in ANY TERRAIN.
  
• Saddle bags cause your saddle to shift forward and backward in steep terrain, causing rubbing and soreness, but TRAIL-EASE RIDING PANNIERS keeps the saddle, as well as the load, securely in place.
  
• Large-capacity saddlebags will abrade your horse's hair and hide, but TRAIL-EASE RIDING PANNIERS is completely fleece-lined to eliminate any possibility of abrasion.
  
• Saddle bags don't work well with English saddles which lack dees and saddle strings, but TRAIL-EASE RIDING PANNIERS don't require any attachment to the saddle so they work equally well with ANY saddle type -- English, Western, Australian, Endurance, McClellan, Trail, or without any saddle at all, if that's the way you like it!
  
• Saddlebags can cause dees and saddle strings to pull out or break off just when you need them most, but TRAIL-EASE RIDING PANNIERS protects your saddle from that kind of damage.
  
• Complicated saddle bag systems take way too much of your precious time in the back-country attaching the many components to your saddle, but TRAIL-EASE RIDING PANNIERS are as quick and easy to put on your horse as a saddle pad!
  
• Although they may look like saddle bags at first glance, TRAIL-EASE RIDING PANNIERS ARE DEFINITELY NOT CONVENTIONAL SADDLE BAGS! They are a unique and revolutionary solution to the problems people and horses experience with all the large-capacity saddle bags on the market today.
