unsaddle
Strip riding gear
To unsaddle is to remove a saddle from a horse or other animal: She unsaddled the mare after the long ride.
The word can extend to dismounting or being thrown from a horse—to be unsaddled is to lose your seat.
Figuratively, to unsaddle someone is to remove them from a position of power or control.
