Horse-back Accessories

Just like our modern trail vehicles there is an abundance of accessories available to help make your off-road journey on horseback more enjoyable. Even if you are just heading into the bush for a short hunting trip there are a few things to consider.

Whether you are hunting with a bow or a rifle a good quality scabbard is essential. This will allow you to keep your firearm safe and secure, yet readily available when the need presents itself. Scabbards are available to accommodate most of the common rifle and bow sizes on the market today. Another essential is some good quality accessory bags. These are available in a variety of sizes and materials to fit over the saddle or over the horn, allowing you to pack all the necessities for your trip. A host of specialty bags are also available depending on your specific needs.

Oversized stirrups are a good idea because you likely won’t be wearing traditional riding boots if you plan to stalk your quarry on foot. Oversized stirrups allow for the extra bulk of your hunting boots and will ensure that you don’t get hung up when mounting or dismounting.

Remember to treat your horse fairly. Any extra accessories or load should be taken into consideration when calculating the overall weight in regards to the capabilities of your horse.
