FYI for those attempting elk wrangling and/or riding -- they make these cool little rumble seats for saddles now. It is a little add on seat for a child that fits right behind the cantle. Only seats one, but might be useful for a child that no longer fits in the saddle bag.

Oh, but if you only have a child in one saddle bag and not the other, be sure to load enough food, toys and drinks in the other saddle bag to equal the weight of the child. Unbalanced loads might aggravate or injure your elk.
