Horse Gear

Horse gear and tack was required for use both by the supply train packing goods to the mountains, and for the mountain men.  These items included everything from bridles, stirrups, harnesses, saddles to shoes and nails.  Pack saddles were not intended for riding, but were a saddle-like frame that fit on the horse or mules back.  Packs of fur or supplies were then strapped to the pack saddle.
