Saddle

A saddle is an item that can be placed on rideable mobs.

Fishing
Saddles can be obtained as a "treasure" item from fishing with a base chance (without fishing rod enchantments) of 0.8%.

Trading
Master-level leatherworker villagers have a 50% chance to sell a saddle for 6 emeralds as their trade. This trade is always offered in Java Edition.

Mob loot
Any mob that the player equips with a saddle drops the saddle upon death.

A strider may spawn being ridden by a zombified piglin, which causes it to spawn wearing a saddle. This saddle has an 8.5% chance to drop, increased by 1% per level of Looting.

A ravager always spawns with a saddle and always drops the saddle upon death. Looting does not affect the drop.

Usage
Saddles can be used to ride striders, horses, donkeys, mules, skeleton horses, and pigs. An equine mob equipped with saddle is rendered wearing a bridle along with the saddle.

Although ravagers are equipped with saddles and sometimes ridden by other mobs, the player is unable to ride ravagers.

a saddle on a pig equips the pig with the saddle, allowing the player to ride the pig. Controlling the pig requires using a carrot on a stick. Killing the pig is the only way to retrieve the saddle. Striders behave similarly when equipped with a saddle, but require a warped fungus on a stick to be controlled instead.

Tamed horses, donkeys, and mules can be ridden without a saddle, but a saddle is required to control them. 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 animal is zero.
 * A saddle on a pig can still be seen if the pig is afflicted with Invisibility.
 * When riding a saddled mob, the hunger bar is replaced by hearts (representing the mounted mob's health) resembling the look of the saddle.
 * You can equip a sadle with dispensers to pigs, striders and tamed horses but not to wild horses.
