About the Saddle
A saddle is the item you need to ride most Minecraft mounts. Use it on a horse, donkey, mule, or camel to ride and steer that mob. You can also saddle a pig or a strider, but those two need a carrot on a stick or a warped fungus on a stick to control.
Saddles do not stack and cannot be crafted, so they feel valuable whenever you find one.
How to get the Saddle
You cannot craft a saddle. You can get one by fishing as treasure, looting chests in dungeons, desert temples, jungle temples, nether fortresses, strongholds, or village tannery chests. Leatherworker villagers also sell saddles, and ravagers drop one when killed.
