A packhorse, pack horse, or sumpter refers to a horse, mule, donkey, or pony used to carry goods on its back, usually in sidebags or panniers. Typically packhorses are used to cross difficult terrain, where the absence of roads prevents the use of wheeled vehicles. Use of packhorses dates from the neolithic period to the present day. Today, westernized nations primarily use packhorses for recreational pursuits, but they are still an important part of everyday transportation of goods throughout much of the developing world and have some military uses in rugged regions.

  • Acémila (del árabe hispano «azzámila», y este del árabe clásico «zāmilah» 'bestia de carga') es el animal, asno, mulo u otro tipo de caballería, empleado como medio de transporte.​​ Ha sido históricamente el animal de carga en el comercio de los arrieros, aguadores, azacanes y otros oficios de origen medieval.

  • Le terme de cheval de bât ou cheval de somme se réfère à un cheval, plus rarement un poney, un mulet ou un âne, utilisé pour transporter des charges sur le dos. L'animal est habituellement harnaché grâce à un bât ou un autre système de paniers, comme le cacolet. Le cheval de bât est typiquement employé pour franchir des terrains difficiles en l'absence de route, où un véhicule à roues ne pourrait passer. L'usage de tels chevaux remonte au néolithique et se poursuit de nos jours. Si la plupart des pays industrialisés emploient désormais des chevaux de bât dans le cadre des randonnées de loisir, l'utilisation de chevaux de bât au travail reste importante dans les pays les moins avancés. Le cheval de bât peut aussi trouver des applications en cas de conflit militaire. (fr)
