Saddle

Saddles are items that allow a player to ride pigs, horses, mules and donkeys after they are saddled. As of 1.4.2, the pig can be controlled by a carrot on a stick. Before version 1.4.2, a saddle could not be removed from a pig, and it would be permanently lost if the pig despawned or died.

Saddles were added in Infdev on June 25, 2010. They can either be found in dungeons, shipwrecks, underwater ruins, Nether fortresses, End cities, jungle temples, desert temples, minecart with chests in abandoned mineshafts, or can be bought via trading with villagers. They can also be caught as a treasure from fishing . Ravagers have a chance of dropping them when they die. They cannot be crafted.
