Packhorses are horses (or sometimes mules, donkeys, or ponies) used to carry goods on their backs, typically in side-bags or panniers. They are often used in areas where roads are poor or non-existent, or in situations where wheeled vehicles are impractical. Packhorses have been used for transportation since the Neolithic period and continue to be used in both developed and developing countries, including for recreational pursuits like hiking and ecotourism.
