Possible proof for humans in Equestria( Sassy Saddles)

[TheMarkz0ne 962]

Why is she the ONLY pony with a saddle? Why do saddles exists in this world if there aren't any humans? So what are the saddles used for?

Twilight wore one in Winter Wrap Up.

Oh yeah you're right, completely forgot about that. 

[Steve Piranha 28,887]

Saddles are a common fashion choice for ponies from the start. I think it was as early as the THIRD EPISODE O-O

Yeah but why do they have the saddles? It makes no sense. 

[Silver Letter 1,830]

Saddles can be used to carry umbrellas at least. It's a fashion statement as well in Equestria. Perhaps for high society ponies.

[Espurr 449]

Or maybe saddles are used for... other things... ahem... if you know what I'm saying...

It may just be for fashion. I'm pretty sure she doesn't use it because there are humans.

because cartoon horses

 

On the other hand- why do they wear any kind of clothes at all?

 

If someone put clothes on a real horse that would be SUPER creepy.

Ponies and baby dragons ride ponies. Rarity rode Twilight in Hearth's Warming Eve episode, and Spike frequently rides Twilight.

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.

She probably wears it just to fit her name.

I think this answers your question, and confirms that there were humand in Equestria, at some point.

I think in the first ep, from season 1, Twilight wore one. But I'm not sure...

[Cleverclover 1,525]

Twilight wore one in Winter Wrap Up.  

 

Aaaaaaaand topic is now....

No, just the first sentence of it.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,152]

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...

[Steve Piranha 28,887]

They're horses, nuff said ^^

For carrying something..? '~' I'll be damned if there is a human in equestria xD 

[Jeric 46,836]

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.

I think it's more just a fashion choice.

That is one of the most awesome theories I've heard in awhile.  Wow.  I like it.

[chirox the pony 1,334]

As said before it's a fashion thing. And even then how would it be evidence of humans? 

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

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.
