Uses and Other Details:
To summarize, saddles are used for riding animals. At the point of writing it may be used for horses, donkeys, mules and pigs. When using a pig with a saddle, it’s best to dangle a carrot on a stick in front of them in order to guide them. It also provides no armor or protection benefits to the pigs. This aspect of the game is additionally part of the achievement system on all Bedrock editions. The Xbox Achievement is “When Pigs Fly” for you to “fly a pig off a cliff” which is worth 40 Gamerscore.

The saddle is found within an inventory of the particular animal that’s been equipped with it. It can easily be taken off by entering that inventory and removing it.
