For one story type idea I have has dragonriders in it. So, obviously they need saddles-which I'm failing to figure out.
Here's some sketches on it.

The flags on the saddle of my concepts are a kinda nod to Naomi Novik's dragon series-I only read a little of His Majesty's Dragon,(the 1st book) There's are flags used with dragons in that book, but in a different way.
