The magic trick of Randoline Packsaddles :
the articulated tracked pads
In 2009 Randoline developed a revolutionary technology: making mobile the entire support surface of the pads on which the packadle and its load rest.
To do this, each packsaddle rests on a number of pads (8 pads for the Balaïtous, 10 pads for the Balissandre and Bastillon, 12 pads for the Balaska, and… 2 for a cross-braced packsaddle…). Each pad is connected to the packsaddle by a rubber pad, which can move in all directions. The result is extraordinary: at every second of the walk, whatever the configuration of the path, whatever the shape of the animal’s back, all the pads rest flat on the back. There’s no more risk of injury. For the first time in the world, the pack-saddle adapts to the animal, and not the animal suffers under the planks.

For example, on a Bastillon, the total bearing surface on the back is 960 cm2. For a Balissandre size M 1,306 cm2. For a Balaïtous 1,000 cm2. For a Balaska 1,627 cm2. The largest bearing surface of any pack-saddle on the market. And the only pack-saddle where every cm2 is useful for carrying. This technique was already used in some pack-saddles in northern Italy, but with heavy hinges that limited their effectiveness.
Warning: this rubber pad is not the kind you find behind doors. It’s a high-density, 60 Shore industrial rubber that’s virtually indestructible. And, of course, it can be replaced in the event of a tear. A rescue pad is systematically attached to each packsaddle just in case.
Our equipment for donkeys, mules, horses, ponies and goats…
Our values, our history, what we are…
Randoline equipment …
Randoline builds equipment specially adapted for work, hiking and walking with horses (and since 2021 with goats): packsaddles for donkey and goat, packsaddle for horse and mule, hiking bag, saddle for donkey, child seat, pack rug, protective tarpaulin, attachment stake, lanyard, carrying tool, collar, pastern attachment, linseed oil for wood, neatsfoot oil for leather.
Our profession and our happiness: we are manufacturers of equipment for donkeys, mules, horses, ponies and goats.
All these materials were designed in our workshop, where we manufacture all the wooden parts. Our packsaddles for donkeys, ponies, mules and horses take up the principle and qualities of old traditional products: solidity, stability, durability, comfort.
Since 2024, we have also been making all our harnesses from leather, which we choose ourselves in a very old tannery in the Montagne Noire (south of France).
These articles are the result of a very long experience of hiking with a donkey.
Proof of our know-how: more than a thousand Randoline packsaddles travel the hiking trails of old Europe as soon as the sunny days return.
The most beautiful for our carrier animals
At Randoline, we believe, once harnessed and ready for hiking and work, that our animals should be beautiful. Why would a rider give his horse the best saddle and the finest leather, and why would our carrier animals look like rags?
It is for this reason that our equipment for hiking, working with a donkey, a mule, a horse, a mule are designed to be both robust and aesthetic. Of course the first quality we look for is comfort for the animal.
