leather saddle

Equestrian's hide seat

A leather saddle is a seat made of leather for riding a horse or bicycle.

The term distinguishes saddles crafted from animal hide—prized for durability, grip, and the way leather molds to the rider over time—from synthetic alternatives: He preferred a broken-in leather saddle to anything modern.
