The Use of Saddles

[Thetracker3]

I want to say this is where this kind of question would go, seeing how it is based off of something in the show, saddles.

Here's my question: What is the use of saddles, in a world with no humans? We humans invented saddles so that we could ride horses with less chaffing. And unless I am mistaken, there are no humans in Equestria... So, can you guys help me find out why there are saddles in MLP: FiM? Because this has eluded me for the longest time... well, since I first questioned saddles existence... about 3 or 4 weeks ago.

They were made for Spike so he could ride Twilight with no problem.

[Zygrograxgra]

Probably just for looks and stuff.
Remember the the whole point of clothing in that world is looks.

[Chishio Kunrin]

Seems to be fashion. Some people have theories, though, that involve the show taking place a long time after an apocalypse wiped out humans or something.

[Star Striker]

It makes more sense for clothes to be held on with saddles in MLP universe.

[The Wandering Magus]

there are other theories, but those are NSFW.  Just look it up on google if you don't believe me.

Ok, so far only Night Pony has given me an answer I did not expect. But that answer is flawed: If saddles are for spike to ride twilight, why do all the other ponies wear them?

@Magus: I believe you. Knowing the kinds of stuff people make involving ponies and content that is NSFW, I think I'll stop while my eyes are unmolested.

@Everyone else: Couldn't you guys/gals come up with something more creative than fashion? I mean, come on! Spin me a tale of Magic, Fantasy, Dragons and Monsters! I'd take that over fashion any day. (note: I was thinking that fashion would be the mane answer, and you proved me right)

Well duh.There isn't any other answer except the NSFW which is none canon in anyway , and its already confirmed that they are for fashion so if we try to be creative its like trying to be wrong.

Diaries of an Equestrian Overlord?

I already said something other than fashion.

I said that some bronies have theories about the show taking place long after an apocalypse wiped out the human race, and that's why the ponies have stuff made by humans for horses, like saddles and bridles.

It has been said many times humans never existed in the pony world.

[Chishio Kunrin]

Ah. Well, then, I have no idea. Out-of-universe, it's just due to the show's creators driving home the fact that they're horses. "What would a horse wear?" "A saddle?"

Muffin?

it's the artists being bored.

Unlikely.Possible , but unlikely.
The ponies also wear dresses , and http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=2470.0">Read the forum rules.s.So they could have just made them wear those.

The saddles could just be a way to cover a ponies back to keep themselves warm
