Silver Letter 1,832 September 13, 2015 #6 Share September 13, 2015 Saddles can be used to carry umbrellas at least. It's a fashion statement as well in Equestria. Perhaps for high society ponies. 3 Silver Letter!!! Silver Letter's MLP collection Have: 946 https://data.mlpmerch.com/checklist/180/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RarityFan01 2,444 September 13, 2015 #11 Share September 13, 2015 Ponies and baby dragons ride ponies.

AlbaTross 1,586 September 13, 2015 #12 Share September 13, 2015 In Sassy Saddles's case, I think her outfit is a spoof on the mid-waist belt that seemed to be pretty fashionable for women a few years back. I don't follow fashion, least of all women's fashion, so I have no idea if that's still in or not but I haven't seen my sister who is into fashion dress that way for a while. As ponies don't have the need for clothing it's all just an accessory to enhance one's appearance anyways, especially saddles. Given the shape and design of clothing and the bodies of the ponies who wear them there's even less need for belts to exist but like with all other types of clothing they too can exist as accessories, however I don't think they do. I think saddles are Equestria's equivalent to belts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen Pathfinder 16,162 September 14, 2015 #18 Share September 14, 2015 IIRC saddles were quite the fashion statement during the Grand Galloping Gala, so they have an aesthetic purpose. Though I must admit I am unsure as to their purpose in regards to winter-ware in how Twilight was putting one on...

Jeric 46,861 September 14, 2015 #21 Share September 14, 2015 Ok. A lot of this conversation seems predicated on an assumption that saddles have a singular use. They are used to carry a rider or loads. We have seen saddlebags, saddles used as a base for other objects, the provide functionality. A saddle allows a pony to carry a load easier with less strain on their back. As far as the point about clothes, since there is a reduced need for functional clothing, it does change how one would look at pony clothing in general. Functional art (like architecture, horticulture, cooking, and literature) are based on elements of civilization that are critical to the success of an species or the growth of society. For humans, clothes fit that definition well. For Ponies, not so much. That means couturier and moat clothing in geberal is actually closer to an oil painting, or an orchestral piece. Wearing clothing isn't required. It is a form of expression and art. I suppose saddles could easily fall into that. A bit more whimsical than functional as I doubt you would see Rarity or Sassy bearing any loads when they wore theirs. In short, it is part of the art of expression. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirox the pony 1,336 September 15, 2015 #24 Share September 15, 2015 As said before it's a fashion thing. And even then how would it be evidence of humans? No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNamedEarl 1,332 September 16, 2015 #25 Share September 16, 2015 You actually ask a good question because there isn't a reason for saddles if they aren't ridden. Probably more for aesthetics than anything else. Creator of MLP Ruined Vines and Recorder Sh*t Equestria's Biggest Hip-Hop Nerd Everyday is Leg Day!
