Pack Goat Training Saddle
The Pack Goat Training Soft Saddle is a blast for you and your packer in training. It’s important to remember this is not a promotion of having your young goats packing weight too early. Keep everything light on them until they are ready for a full blown saddle. They come with a grey saddle and the color choices are olive or blaze orange.
“We got this for our younger and smaller goats. It is absolutely fantastic. We had a bit of a debacle with the olive color being out of stock so we got it in the lime green (which I hadn’t known was an option). My son was super happy with this change since the lime green is his favorite color and this saddle was for his 4H project goats. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you!” ~ Madison Willers
“Thank you Marc and Matt! Recieved my training saddle today and of course, immediately put it on my 7 month old big boy fit perfectly! Had him follow me for a while just for a feel. He didn’t hardly know it was there. Quality is Great, everything very well put together perfect stitching and clip placement. Very comfy for my boy. Everything as advertised. Really happy with my purchase. I am new to the goat packing thing 7 months in and absolutely loving every minute!
Marc your instruction has been wonderful. I have been researching so much and your videos and reading material has been invaluable.
Thanks again

Also, don’t forget to order a Pannier Scale! It’s an essential piece of equipment every goat packer must have for balancing panniers. Especially for these smaller training saddles, the smaller the goat, the more crucial pannier balancing is.
These packs are awesome for a young 4H trainer. Their young pack goats will love the comfort and fit. Also if you are wanting a 4H saddle to compete with this one will be fast and easy and help you win your competition. Here is a good article on that. If you have Nigerian these packs will work great for that as well. Here is a good article on how to work with your young packer.

If you are looking for a great beginner pack for your adolescent goats or miniatures look no further! The Marc Warnke signature kid packs are everything I had been searching for, but in a combination of saddle and pack in one. They have a broad adjustable range for chest, rump and double cinches. The saddle is frameless but fits awesome and keeps every bit of weight of of thier spine with zippers on the rear portion so if needed they can be fitted with more or less packing.The individual packs have a system of buckles that will not bounce or get hung up for your little packer in training, they are also easily removed to pack and weigh with a few clicks of heavy duty snap buckles. Our guys love these packs, every time they see one get handled they are ready to hit the trails. Thanks for taking the time to design these right the first time Marc!

These packs are great for training younger goats! Being newer to goat packing I was concerned about making sure my younger goats were ‘used to’ having something on from a young age. I tried a dog pack and it did not work at all. This one is designed well, has detachable panniers and similar features to a full size pack system. It is very secure and stands up to the constant bouncing, jumping and playing of a younger goat. I’ve had about 3 ibs in each pannier, but think it would probably hold 8-10 ibs each side if needed.

I absolutely love this pack. Not only is comfortable for the goat, but it’s easy to use. And so far I’ve had my pack for two years and I’ve had no trouble with it. Thanks Marc keep up the good work!!
