Carrier apparatus for a packhorse includes a pair of cabinets, each constructed of a rigid, unitary shell of upwardly convergent configuration having a door forming an inclined front panel portion also serving as a table in open position and removable, internal shelf separations for carrying items of various sizes. Each cabinet is contoured on the rear or inner side thereof to generally conform to the sides of the packhorse. Nylon straps or mounting frames suspend the cabinets on each side of the horse in a balanced arrangement from a pair of cross bucks. Further, each cabinet has a flat, rigid base, a flat, horizontal top surface, and substantially vertical rear side extending downwardly from an upper concave surface forming a part of the shell so that when the cabinets are removed from the horse they can be placed back-to-back on the ground with no other support such that the combination of the top surfaces provides an additional enlarged flat working surface or table top.

A set of packhorse cabinets adapted for carrying on the back of a packhorse, comprising: a pair of rigid cabinets, each of which has a rectangular planar top panel and a rectangular planar bottom panel disposed in parallel, spaced-apart, over and under relation to each other with the back edges of said top and bottom panels in vertical alignment with each other, a right side panel extending between the right sides of said top and bottom panels, a left side panel extending between the left sides of said top and bottom panels, a back panel extending between the back edges of said top and bottom panels, and a front panel extending substantially vertically upwardly from the front edge of said bottom panel a portion of the distance between said top and bottom panels, each of said top, bottom, right, left, back, and front panels being rigid in character and rigidly joined with adjacent of said panels, each said back panel having a concave intermediate recessed Portion therein adapted to conform to the exterior of the abdominal wall of a packhorse on which said cabinets are positioned for carrying, each said back panel having upper and lower substantially vertical portions interconnecting said concave portion with said top and bottom panels respectively, the curvature of said concave portions being such that said cabinets are adapted to be suspended on opposite sides of a packhorse in an upright orientation, each of said cabinets also including a planar downwardly and outwardly opening door which is hinged along its bottom edge to the top edge of said front panel and which is oriented horizontally in parallel relation to the plane of said top and bottom panels when in its full open position, and suspension means adapted for suspending each of said cabinets on opposite sides of a packhorse, said cabinets also being adapted for positioning together in upright, back-to-back relation to each other on the ground when not suspended on a packhorse with said upper vertical portions of said cabinet and lower vertical portions of said cabinets positioned in confronting relationship such that said top panels are contiguous to each other in the form of individual half sections of a whole, substantially planar, horizontal table top.
