The Saddle is a Don't Starve Together Tool item that can be used to mount Beefalo. It can be crafted at the Alchemy Engine with 4 Pig Skins, 4 Gold Nuggets and 4 Beefalo Wool.

The War Saddle is a variant of the normal Saddle that can be used 3 more times than normal, and also adds 16 bonus damage to attacks made while riding the Beefalo. It requires 4 live Rabbits, 10 Logs, and 4 Steel Wool to craft, and an Alchemy Engine to prototype.

The Glossamer Saddle is a variant of the normal Saddle that can be crafted using 2 Living Logs, 4 Silk and 68 Butterfly Wings. It requires an Alchemy Engine to prototype.

Usage
To mount a Beefalo, the Beefalo in question must first be tamed by feeding it Cut Grass, Twigs, or any Vegetable. Afterwards the Saddle may be placed on the Beefalo to allow mounting. If a player attempts to saddle an untamed Beefalo it will reject the saddle and attack the player. While mounted on a Beefalo the player is allowed to freely control it, including the ability to attack with it. The damage inflicted is the same as a normal Beefalo's, except much faster. Using the War Saddle will increase the damage inflicted by the Beefalo by 16, and a fully domesticated Beefalo with an Ornery Tendency will deal even more damage. Most attacks made on the player while mounted will go to the Beefalo instead, indicated with a different damage flash. However, some enemies (such as a Clockwork Bishop) can still attack the player directly even while mounted.

After some time being mounted, the Beefalo will eject the mounted player. No damage is inflicted to the player upon being dismounted, and the Beefalo can be mounted again immediately afterwards.

Tips

 * Saddles only lose durability when tossed off by a Beefalo.
 * War Saddles are best used on Ornery Beefalo, as they do more attack damage.
 * A Saddlehorn can be used to remove a Saddle from a Beefalo without loss of durability.

Trivia

 * War Saddle is the first item to require Steel Wool as a crafting ingredient.
 * Glossamer Saddle is the first and only item in the game that requires Butterfly Wings as a crafting ingredient.
