Pack saddle
A pack saddle is any device designed to be secured on the back of a horse, mule, or other draft animal for the purpose of making it possible for the draft animal to support and transport heavy loads such as luggage, firewood, small cannons or other weapons too heavy to be carried by humans, etc. Ideally the pack saddle rests on a saddle blanket or saddle pad so as to cushion the weight of the saddle and its burden as it rests on the pack animal's back.
