SU7291 - Saddle/Hay Bags

This pattern includes standard saddle bags, a horn bag, a cantle bag, two styles of hay feeding bags, and full bale and half bale hay carry bags. The saddle and horn bag flaps are fastened with hook-and-loop tape.  Instructions are given for using buckle fasteners on the saddle bags or making them insulated. The cantle bag has D-rings for attachment to a western saddle. Both hay feeding bags hold several flakes of hay. The simple round bag has D-rings at the top and on the back for tying to bag in place. The square bag with webbing grid for a "slow feed" effect has a D-ring and two tie-down loops on the back and a detachable adjustable strap. A top flap fastens on the back of the bag with hook-and- loop tape.
