saddler

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for saddler that I've seen before include "he'll offer you a seat" , "Maker of horse's equipment" , "One makes leather goods for horses" , "I'll make seat" , "Maker of seats for riders" .)
