Any dog carrier saddlebags?

This is weird...but I went riding today with my %26#039;children%26#039; for Mother%26#039;s Day. I have 2 small dogs. They can%26#039;t keep up, so they ride in my saddlebags with their heads and front legs out the top. Works pretty good...http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg103...





But if I let the young one on the ground, the weight of the remaining old one will pull on the saddle, causing the saddle to sit crooked.





I%26#039;d like something that will attach to the horn and balance across the front of me...or attach to the cantle and %26#039;balance%26#039; on the back. Like a buddy seat for kids.





It cannot %26#039;contain or trap%26#039; the dog...in case something goes wrong. The dogs are well trained to ride with me. They know to stay still...yet will jump and leave if I tell them too.





So, any ideas of how to MAKE one...or where to buy one?





And yes...I know tenny shoes are a no no...but I do it anyways.

But this is like a back pack for a dog. Well then I think maybe you would have to make new strapes. Then you can leave the bag open. Hummm

Heather- That is a good idea!! Then just mod the holes for the heads!
Reply:When I was a kid we rode with a fox hunt. The whiper in had a set of small baskets that cliped to the front of the saddle for the Jack russels to ride in.





I cant for the life of me find a set on the net. But it shouldnt be to hard to make.





Also.. these people http://www.haditmade.com/P108.html will make custom horse/dog/ people gear. Talk to them and maybe they can make you something.

Some neat carriers...front and back models....





If you have a tent and awining manufacturer in GP or due east from there, they may be able to %26quot;work up%26quot; a design for you....take in some ideas/photos and let them make a mock up for you. Incorporate your own ideas for bringing your buddies on a horseback ride. I can%26#039;t imagine that there would not be a market for this!
Reply:hey B.B. so i%26#039;m thinking you could take this saddle bag and cut holes for your dogs head to stick out. the bags are rectangular with a flat bottom which would make it easier for your dog to stnad or sit in. they are also insulated which might help keep your pups cool.

Reply:Seems to me I have seen something like you are talking about.....Where??????





Good idea though.








Good gravy girl look at all that hair!!! I have fine hair that I have to keep short. It gets too long %26amp; I get split ends like crazy....http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=ddJo...





I ride in tennies too.....
Reply:i agree that this is a good idea. right now i%26#039;ve been trying to figure out a way to carry my dog as it took her less than 5 minutes to unzip her bag and get out.


it was a heavy bag to begin with, so i figure if a can figure out something i can wear and don%26#039;t have to put down as that%26#039;s when she gets out. as long as she%26#039;s in air she stays still.


maybe the same idea a double bag to sling across the front with a slot for the horn. made out of denim with sheepskin lining. now you really have me thinking.


good luck
Reply:I know exactly what you are talking about but I haven%26#039;t seen one. A girl I rode with once would take her Corgi pup and put him in front of her but her pommel saddle bag acted as a %26#039;bed%26#039; so he could drape over onto it.





All I could come up with was maybe a small doggy soft side carrier and clip it to the cantle. It will be directly behind you and flat on the horses rump.


The top can be cut off to make a %26#039;bed%26#039; like area so they have a quick exit if needed yet it%26#039;s sides are sturdy.





I will keep my eyes open!
