I haven't for many years but I am going to start again this summer, got a pack saddle being made as we speak. Looking forward to it.
Its only been a couple of years now that I could pencil horses back into the family budget, now that the boys are getting big enough to do this stuff with me it is a lot easier to justify, or is that rationalize?
Whatever works!
It's a lot of work to pack up into the backcountry, and I'm a little daunted by it.
I saw your endorsement of BackCountry Horsemen, a group I support and we plan to join. There's three chapters here who don't exactly get along, and I have friends in each... Trying to decide which chapter to join :~D
