It’s the best pack with the best guarantee in the business! But you don’t have to take our word for it... here are just a few letters from our many happy customers and articles out of publications you trust that are telling their readers the good news about Trail-Ease Riding Panniers!

“Trail-Ease Riding Panniers more than exceeded my expectations after 150 REALLY tough miles on the Colorado Trail. Unlike my companion’s horse, who was quickly crippled by a popular saddle bag system that is advertised as being “horse-friendly,” my horse didn't have a single chafe or sore spot on him and emerged off the trail fit and ready to compete in endurance events. We will never again consider using any other system on our horses.”
—Dawn Packard, Boulder, CO

“Trail-Ease Riding Panniers offer large capacity and excellent weight distribution -all assets in back-country horse packing.”
—Western Horseman, March 1998

“Thank you for solving my packing problems. As a chiropractor, I am sensitive to the health of my horse from a functional standpoint. Your packing system makes it possible to carry an optimal load in a balanced, well-placed manner making it easy for the horse to manage. This system is a dream come true. I recommend it to anyone who wants hassle-free horse camping.” — Dr. Stanley P. Henderson, Newhall, CA

“...A better way of packing...Trail-Ease puts the weight where it’s supposed to be.” —Ag Weekly, July 25, 1998

“Until I discovered that Trail-Ease Riding Panniers could work with my English saddle I dismissed the idea of horse travel as just one more fantasy. I looked around, but haven’t seen any thing as good as yours. Thanks!” —Jane Beattie, Sun Valley, ID

“Trail-Ease is easier on me, my animals, and my wallet than any of the traditional packing methods I’ve tried.” —Dale Parker, Donnelly, Idaho

“Like most professional outfitters I’m not in favor of saddle bags for the damage they do to an animal, so when a friend persuaded me to try Trail-Ease Riding Panniers, I was plenty skeptical. But now every man in my outfit has one under his saddle. The system is totally humane to the livestock. We travel daily 30-35 miles heavily loaded in steep country and not one of my mules are sore or have any hot spots.” —-Kurt Fellom, Manager, Big Creek Outfitters, Big Creek, ID

“PAINLESS PANNIERS...Trail-Ease invention eases pain of horseback trips.”—Capital Press, Aug.21, 1998

“Trail-Ease affords the horse complete comfort and full range of motion. Relieved of worries about shifting or harmful loads, we travel easily and enjoy our time in the back country so much more.”
—Jerry & “Sam” Yetter, Dillon, MT

“I LOVE THEM!!! I will never mess with any other saddlepacks again. When you ride like I do....trotting forever and galloping, not having things bounce all over your horse is really nice.”—Nancy Taylor, Emmett, ID

“Have you been looking for a simple pack system that is compatible with all types of English, Western, Australian, McClellan, and endurance saddles? The Trail-Ease Riding Panniers are the answer to your problems.” —Saddle Mule News - Vol. 1, 1998

“I am amazed by my Trail-Ease Riding Panniers! It is totally stable and easy on my horse. As an additional bonus, I sleep on it and get the best night’s rest I’ve ever had on a pack trip. I’m a farrier and I’ve been recommending them to all my clients. Thanks!” —Carol Riehle, Council, ID
