SADDLE (a word common to Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. Sattel, Dut. zadel, also in Russ. siedlo and Lat. sella, for sedla; it is not derived directly from Lat. sedile, which means a chair, but all the words are to be referred to the root sad-, which gives Lat. sedere, Eng. " sit," " settle," " seat," &c.), a seat, usually of leather, fixed by girths to the back of a
horse
  for riding; also a padded cushion for the back of a
draught
 
horse
 , fastened by girths and crupper; to it are attached the supports for the shafts, and rings for the reins (see SADDLERY). The word is also applied to many objects resembling a saddle in shape or
function
 , such as a
block
  to support a spar in a ship, or in machinery to support a rod, or in masonry (q.v.) the top or "
apex
  stone " of the gable of a roof, &c.
Saddle bars, in architecture (Fr. traverses), are narrow
horizontal
  iron bars passing from mullion to mullion, and often through the whole window from side to side, to steady the stone
work
 , and to form stays, to which the lead
work
  is secured. When the bays of the windows are wide, the lead lights are further strengthened by upright bars, passing through eyes forged on the saddle bars, and called stanchions. When saddle bars pass right through the mullions in one piece, and are secured to the jambs, they have sometimes been called " stay bars."
