How to Give a Saddle in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to give a player a saddle with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, a saddle is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead you need to use the cheat called the /give command to get this item in the game.
Let's explore how to use cheats (game commands) to add a saddle to your inventory.

/give DigMinecraft saddle 3
Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.
Once the cheat has been entered, the 3 saddles will be added to the player's inventory.
You will see the message "Given [Saddle] x 3 to DigMinecraft" appear in the lower left corner of the game window. You have now given 3 saddles to the player called DigMinecraft.
