Heres a quick way to fix those broken straps or broken reins. I carry a couple of different size conway buckels in my saddle bags. If you break a strap on a pack saddle or break a set of reins, all you have to do is punch a hole on each side of the break, and feed through both sides of a conway buckle. Make sure you leave enough strap to tuck under the keeper. This will hold til you can get it fixed properly.
