ComfortStride® Horse Pack Saddle – Heavy‑Duty Backcountry Pack Saddle for Horses & Mules

Built for Real‑World Use

The ComfortStride® was created through extensive testing and feedback from experienced packers and outfitters. Our goal was simple: build a durable pack saddle that performs as hard as you and your stock do. Whether you’re packing into a hunting camp, leading a trail ride for clients, or hauling gear on a multi‑day trek, this saddle offers dependable strength and load stability.

Adjustable Floating or Fixed Bars

By default, the ComfortStride’s bars “float” to follow your animal’s natural motion. Want a more rigid ride? Use the included Nord‑Lock® wedge‑lock washers to convert to a fixed‑bar setup in minutes. This allows for a precision fit!

Craftsmanship-focused

The steel arches are precision laser cut from heavy plate steel, and each edge is carefully ground and sanded smooth to remove sharp edges that could otherwise damage straps, webbing, or lash ropes. This extra step ensures durability and reflects the craftsmanship behind every ComfortStride® Pack Saddle.

Perfect For:

Backcountry pack trips and hunting expeditions
Outfitters who demand reliable horse and mule pack gear
Riders seeking an American‑made pack saddle designed for comfort and load security
