GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Japanese term or phrase:ダンヅケ
English translation:Pack train

Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Horses
Japanese term or phrase: ダンヅケ
This is listed as an activity that "dosanko" (native Japanese horses) can do. Based on the description in the link below, it appears to mean linking the horses together and having them carry things. Anyone know the English term for this? The list separately includes the term 駄載, which I have translated as "pack horses."
Thanks in advance for your help!

Notes to answerer
Asker: It's just a word in a list, separated by commas. That sounds like it might work...

Explanation:
No idea if there is any English equivalent of this ダンツケ but since the nuance has to do with work horses linked together to carry loads of stuff, I came up with this phrase.
