--- #### **Usage** Saddles are part of a tack set required to ride tamed [SWEM Horses](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/swem-horse "SWEM Horse"). Using a saddle is the third tack item, and requires a blanket (saddle blanket) to be equipped. Right click a tamed [SWEM Horse](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/swem-horse "SWEM Horse") with a saddle in hand to equip it - or open the horse's GUI menu (shift + right click with an empty hand) to place the item in the designated tack spot. If a horse already has a saddle on, you can easily 'hotswap' it for another by shift + right-clicking with the new saddle in hand.

Tack-equip order: [Bridle](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/bridle "Bridle") > [Blanket](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/blanket "Blanket") > [Saddle](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/saddle "Saddle") > [Girth Strap](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/girth-strap "Girth Strap"). Optional: [Breast collar](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/breast-collar), [Leg Wraps](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/leg-wraps), [Horse Armor](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/horse-armor), [Saddle Bag](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/saddle-bag)

Saddles do not offer any perks or buffs. You can use any saddle with any other riding tack pieces to mix English, Western & Adventure. The only exception is Adventure Saddles require a full matching set to use [Horse Armor](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/horse-armor), but once the armor is put on the saddle can be 'hotswapped' out for different versions. **Girth Strap** A saddle requires a [Girth Strap](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/girth-strap "Girth Strap") to remain equipped - if there is no girth strap the saddle has a 20% chance of falling off every second. When a saddle falls off, the player will be dismounted. When untacking, if the saddle is removed before the girth strap it will fall to the ground. **Breastcollar** When untacking, if the saddle is removed before the [Breast collar](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/breast-collar) it will fall to the ground. #### [![Saddle-Slot-Horse.png](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/scaled-1680-/saddle-slot-horse.png)](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/saddle-slot-horse.png) --- #### **Gallery** **![Saddles.gif](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-03/saddles.gif)** Shown: Adventure (6) > English (2) > Western (16) variant saddles. --- #### **Known Issues** If you find an issue, please report it to our bugs channel on **[Discord](https://discord.com/channels/715626418893095012/898242623716855868)**.
