Drops
Ravagers always drop one saddle when killed. The drop is unaffected by the Looting enchantment.

Once tamed, they can be equipped with a saddle by placing it in their inventory, which can be opened by pressing while holding a saddle or. The saddle can be unequipped by removing it from the specific inventory slot.

Trivia

 * A saddle is considered "armor" by the game, but the value of protection to the pig is zero.
 * A saddle can still be seen if the pig is invisible.
 * Punching a pig or horse while holding a saddle causes the mob to wear the saddle, and it is removed from the player's inventory, even in Creative mode.
 * The "When Pigs Fly" achievement requires "Cow Tipper" even though leather is not used to craft saddles.
