cavalier en selle


Explanation:
Are you sure saddle is a verb? If this is the whole sentence it sounds like the description of a particular component, "a saddle jumper", i.e. one which spans or forms a saddle between the two contact points.

Jumpers are those miniscule plastic sleeves that you place over the terminals of your sound card or similar cards, and you have to configure the combination of terminals that you cover or that you leave empty according to the interaction of that card with your particular PC

saddle jumper sounds like a jumper that fits on to two PC terminals with an empty terminal in between, like a bridge

Saddle would be an adjective


Hope that helps.


    The other suggestions seemed to be trying to interpret saddle as a verb
