The perfect starter saddle for young and miniature pack goats.

Whether you’re training a young full-size packer or outfitting a miniature breed like Nigerians, Pygmy goats, minimanchas and others, this small saddle is a fun and functional accessory that helps your goat get trail-ready—without overloading them. It’s designed specifically for light loads, not heavy hauling, so your kids can grow into full-duty gear safely and comfortably and your mini breeds can cover those trail miles with you.

 

To ensure safe and proper weight distribution—especially with smaller goats—don’t forget to add a Pannier Scale. Balanced panniers are essential for training and development, and the smaller the goat, the more critical it becomes.

 

Ideal for 4H projects, youth training, or simply getting your young goat accustomed to gear, this saddle offers a snug, secure fit that keeps your goat comfortable while providing an authentic packing experience. It’s also a fantastic choice for 4H competitions, where quick setup and clean lines give you a competitive edge.

Features of this saddle include:

  • Detachable bags that allow you to weigh them individually
  • Pads along the spine that help the goat pack weight properly and learn to deal with the bulk of carrying the load from a year old
  • Weighs less than 3 pounds
  • Complete soft saddle design that forms to each goat’s body size and shape for a perfect fit

Get some and have fun! Weight: 3.5 Size: 12w x 12h x 4d or 576 Cubic Inches
