For day hikes or long travels, a saddle bag or horse pack will hold all your essentials for the trail.
Things to Consider:
Keeping water cool -- A canteen bag that attaches to your saddle will help insulate your water and keep it cooler and away from the hot sun.
Special Design -- Bags that are specially designed to be carried on a horse saddle are best, since they are evenly weight distributed and have the proper attachments.
Great Gift Idea -- Saddle bags can make an excellent gift for any horse lover who likes to ride distances or travel by horseback.
