>>> Abby has an inventive method of using shoestrings to get hers just right, being a just right type of person. I quit using the cantle pack. My pommel pack has webbing straps that do go around the billets and another shorter velcro strap that goes through the rings on the sallde, and I can still never get it right. Right now it's in my tack box.
One thing to note for anyone who's just looking to buy Stowaway saddlebags: notice that the cantle bags come in western and English styles. The English style has a flap (for lack of better word) to fit up over the back of the saddle's seat. We have one of those and two of the western ones - and the English style has to be "rigged" to work with any of the Sensations. The flap that is supposed to fit over the seat is too small for even the English Trail model, and the Hybrid's cantle is probably bigger still. I really like the Stowaway packs though, and after I get them attached, I don't find that they shift much - but always be sure you pack your gear evenly. However, I'm never afraid to work with saddlestrings and....even better, Velcro One-Wrap. That Velcro One-Wrap is cool stuff - just as handy as duct tape and hay strings, but a LOT neater and more adjustable, plus it's reusable. :) Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.
