So after looking at what does and doesn't fit in saddle bags, it occurred to me we need 2 more kinds of saddle bags. A gear (insert cooler name) saddle bag allows for armor/weapons that currently don't fit but holds no other kinds of stuff. A tool saddle bag is extra large and bulky for those rakes and shovels and picks n such. It will give us options for what we want to carry on our horses using that lovely reduced weight perk. Choices are always nice ingame!
Suggestion #2- Allow dredges to be slotted into saddle bag slot and used as feedbags. Dredges hold grass/food now and can be used to feed a horse. They'd be able to feed a horse automatically. Feed bag+ woa should obviously give speed boost!
