Pack saddle
A pack saddle is any device designed to be secured on the back of a horse, mule, or other working animal so that it can carry heavy loads such as luggage, firewood, small cannons, or other things too heavy to be carried by humans. == Description == Ideally the pack saddle rests on a saddle blanket or saddle pad to spread the weight of the saddle and its burden on the pack animal's back.
