By the time of “ Magma Breather”, however, their technology expert, Alexandra Gonzalez, had constructed saddles to use on their dragons, with each one bearing a vastly unique design from the other. Initially after bonding with their dragons, the members of the Dragon Club rode their dragons without saddles. The human is able o ride both dragons simultaneously.

He ties the torsos and saddles of both dragons together so each uses their good wings to form 'one' dragon. Cutter the Relentless Razorwing also appears to be wearing a riding saddle in this episode, though he is too small to carry an adult human, so it may serve as a carry harness.ĭak needs to rig a makeshift saddle when both Burple and Winger injure one wing each, in ' Crash Course'. A saddle functioning as a carry harness for the Rockspitter, Burple, appears in ' Home Alone'. At some point in the next six months, she also made one to fit the Fastfin, Summer. This was also a gesture of thanks for helping to get her forge re-lit in ' The Nest'. She crafted a saddle to fit the Swiftwing, Winger. In another part of the Viking Empire, a blacksmith from Huttsgalor named Hannahr observed that some visiting Dragon Riders could use a saddle for the benefit of both rider and dragon. Saddle warmers were developed for riding such dragons, especially for longer periods of time. Some dragons such as the Prickleboggle have cold hides. In the second movie, Gobber, Stoick, and Hiccup have started to make saddles at Gobber's shop, which is shown to have expanded greatly, for all the Vikings and dragons of Berk.

They're seen in every episode of the series ever since. So, aside from Hiccup who had a saddle from the beginning, they went without saddles until ' In Dragons We Trust', when it's uncertain who finally made appropriate saddles for each rider and their dragon. However, Gobber added certain features to their saddles such as horns, maces, catapults and even flamethrowers, which Hiccup and the other riders soon found to be counterproductive. In the Riders of Berk episode, ' Viking for Hire', after peace was made with the dragons, Hiccup and Gobber started to make saddles for the Dragon Riders and their dragons when they complained of feeling sore after riding their dragons for hours. Quickly learning that he needed to control the fin himself, Hiccup also made a saddle with a little stirrup connected to the tail, so he could ride Toothless for long periods, allowing him to control the tail fin all the while. When Toothless lost his left tail fin after a dragon attack on Berk, Hiccup made a new tail for him.
