Stirrups attach here
A saddle is a thing to sit on, especially on a horse, but by extension, on a bicycle or motorcycle.
Things roughly shaped like a horse saddle also get the name, like a ridge connecting two peaks, a cut of meat that includes some backbone, or the covering of a roof ridge.
To saddle a horse is to fit a saddle on it.
To saddle someone with a burden is to make it their problem or responsibility.
If you’re figuratively in the saddle, you are at work or ready to be in charge.
