Answer
I'm assuming you mean Vancouver ISLAND as there's no ferry from Seattle to Vancouver. The Clipper leaves Seattle but is passenger only and allows crated animals. There's also ferries from Port Angeles and Anacortes to Victoria on Vancouver Island and from Tsawwssen in BC to both Victoria and Nanaimo. And from Victoria you can also take a ferry to Horseshoe Bay in North Vancouver.

Dogs are allowed on the ferries but only on the car deck levels. Some of the BC ferries also have dog areas - a little room where can let the dog run around in while you relax in there reading a book or whatever. You can also just put a leash on your dog and wander up and down the lanes of cars and up and down to the other car decks.

Bringing a saddle on the plane with me tonight?




God's girl


I am bringing my 17' english saddle tonight on the plane.. or at least I'm going to try to. It was VERY expensive and there is no way I am putting it out with the check baggage, I paid far too much for it to have it get recked or stolen. I have a saddle cover that will be on it. I'm just not sure how I'm going to do it. I can't mail it because I need it TOMORROW.
Do you think it would fit under the seat?? Or where do you think I could put it??
Do you think security would let me through?
I am flying from Edmonton, Alberta to Kelowna, BC.. just one province to the next.
I can't leave it behind.
any ideas how to get it on the plane and where to put it??
I don't really want to put it in the overhead bin things because it will take up to much room and then people won't be able to fit their bags in.
My flight is at 5:00 so I don't have much time to figure it out.
Thanks!!
I have to bring it on the plane, I am doing a show.. I can't just go without my saddle.
Can you buy special saddle bags? Like bags that are actually made for saddles?? I have a saddle cover but that's it. I might see if they have bags at the tack store.



Answer
If it exceeds the maximum amount for carry on baggage, you cannot
bring it. I go on airplanes a lot and I find it very rude when people
bring on oversized carry on items. The maximum size varies depending
on airlines but standard is usually a medium sized back back. I would
suggest just asking if you can hold the item if you're worried about
checking it in.

I had a dog shipped in a giant crate from Alberta to an airport in Delta
(near Vancouver) and it cost about 250$. They are careful with that kind
of cargo otherwise animals could not be transported. Just get a really
sturdy box, stuffing (newspapers, bubble wrap, surround wrap, blankets,
etc.) and put it in there. That is your best bet as I don't think you'll want
to hold a saddle (or be allowed to.)

If you're ambitious, shove it into a back pack and stuff it into the overhead
baggage area. It will not fit in front or behind you if you're not flying first
class. There is usually a weight limit so check the airline website and look
around as weight varies depending on airlines.

Yes, you can actually buy a full saddle bag that zips right up and goes
around the flaps and seat properly but that will make the saddle even
more bulky. Would you buy another seat for it ? (Of course, if it's not a
ridiculous price haha.) Some are super padded and some are not, usually
around 60-120$ brand new. My western one was 120$ new but I've seen the
English ones go for around 60$ (I'm lookin for one still.)

Have fun at your show and hope you can work something out.
