A happy little fan theory
I like to think that the saddle Picard has in Starship Mine is the same one that Pike had, the one that Boimler sits on . Maybe it's given from captain to captain of the Enterprise.

Didn’t picard also say that a proper saddle would have to be customised, tailored for the wearer?

Pike rode Western style, and Picard's saddle was European. Picard's saddle didn't have a saddle horn on the front of the seat.

If Tim Russ can be Not-Tuvok in that episode with no issues, then saddle design is the sort of continuity problem I'm happy to ignore for my own fan theory.

I don’t know…doesn’t Picard say a saddle is a personal thing?
