@Sky: It keeps the wings from folding in. Remember when Flutters got scared during Dragon Shy and folded her wings? Ok, so I don't get scared, but I sometimes get tired from flapping my wings during flight. As a result, I sometimes rest my wings which messes up my aerodynamics. Having this saddle at least prevents me from folding my wings.
Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.
@Orion What if you got a saddle that had rigid wings for gliding? You could fold up your wings and rest them, while still flying.

Everything's been done. Everything has a meaning. However your life at best is to serve as a building block for others.
@Sky: Remember, I have to flap my wings to gain momentum. Even if there was a saddle like that, I would still need to expend my own strength to move them. At best, I can use that saddle to glide.

What if you got a saddle with airplane wings?

It'd be simpler to just get magical antigravity.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.
@Orion That's what I meant. When going in a constant descent (like flying from Cloudsdale to Ponyville), you could use the saddle wings the whole time, and only start flapping when you need to slow down.

years for this computer.
I am excited.

@Orion, obsolete they do have a use, judging from Owls Well that Ends Well, I would've thought saddles were pony lingerie.

@Sky: Would the saddle wings be folded or concealed into the saddle and then come out when needed? Seems kind of useless if I can use my own wings for the same purpose. Plus those wings my risk a malfunction.
Like I said in the last page; the one percent of the sex saddle market.

@Orion Kind of like a human parachute: You pull a cord, and the wings pop out.

Are your wings supposed to pop out? That doesn't sound healthy.

@Sky: I'd rather use my wings then. A nice jester though.

I was referring to the saddle wings Sky suggested.

@Orion A parachute saddle would be pretty useful for weak fliers in a high altitude, like if Fluttershy was in Cloudsdale. It might be a bit embarrassing though.

So, do cutie marks indicate supernormal talents and ability?

@Sky: As great of an idea that is, and I do support that, needing a parachute is kind of embarrassing. A training foal wouldn't be laughed at, but somepony as old as Flutters... well...

What the flying feather? Why would you suggest that?

Moving on from that disturbing thought;
@ATC: No. They are mainly indicators of what we are good at or a representation of the thing that made us realize our talents.

@Orion How'd you get your cutie mark?
