Why does the McClellan saddle breast collar have a heart on it?

The short answer is... it doesn't at least not originally. The breast collar with a brass heart is actually an issue item to the Dragoons (predecessor to the cavalry). They did not actually use the McClellan Saddle though, they used the Grimsley. In the Civil War, the North converted the 1st and 2nd Dragoons into the 1st and 2nd Cavalry and issued them new gear, the McClellan saddle being part. This new issue did not have a breast collar at all. Often times troopers would either buy one on the civilian market or use their old Grimsley tack if they wanted to use a breast collar. As for what was used after the CW I can't speak.

When did Union General McClellan replace General McDowell?
Almost immediately after the Battle of Bull Run. The men were just hanging about the streets of Washington in low morale. McLellan was the man to put fresh heart into them.
What did General McClellan do right after he was fired?
On November 11. 1862 General George B. McClellan said farewell to his troops and took a train to Washington DC. US President Abraham Lincoln had relieved McClellan from duty as commander of the Army of the Potomac on November 7, 1862. He was transferred to duty in New Jersey. He turned to politics and became the Democrats candidate for the presidency in 1864. He lost to Lincoln in that election. McClellan later was successful in becoming the governor of New Jersey. He also served on the Board of Directors for the National Home for Disabled Soldiers. He died in 1885 from heart failure.
What have historians considered to be General George B McClellan's greatest wartime acheivement?
On an overwhelming basis, US military and civilian historians give great respect to General George B. McClellan's organization and training of the Army of the Potomac. This was a giant strep forward for the Union's war effort. His focus on detail, on ordinance and leadership of a young volunteer army could not have been done any better than did McClellan.The victory at Antietam, against a Southern army approximately half the size of his own, and an army fighting in enemy territory, was won by a slim margin.One of his best ideas, however, the Union's high command failed to capitalize on was McClellan's Peninsula strategy to capture Richmond and take the heart out of Virginia. Although McClellan's peninsula campaign failed. The opportunity to repeat it by other generals, even General US Grant, remains a mystery.
Was George McClellan a bad or good general in the US Civil War?
McClellan was a very poor battlefield commander. If the ultimate test of a general's quality is how well he performs in battle, McClellan was a failure. McClellan always outnumbered his opponent, but talked himself into believing HE was outnumbered two to one. And he NEVER, EVER got all the men he had on hand into the fight. At Antietam, he had Lee outnumbered better than five to two, but failed to get two of his entire Corps into position to fire a single shot. The Confederates had the Potomac at their backs, and it was in flood stage after recent heavy rains. The Rebels barely held on by their fingernails. Yet the next day, Lee remained on the field, daring McClellan to attack again. He had the measure of his foe, and knew McClellan probably would not. Even such a military amateur as Lincoln understood what a colossal blunder this was, on McClellan's part at Antietam. Lincoln said "He had them in the palm of his hand, and all he had to do was close his hand on them". If McClellan had closed his hand on Lee, the war probably would have ended very soon after, in the fall of 1862. What McClellan was good at was training an army. He had great organizational skills. But having taken a rabble and turned it into an army, he was not the man to get the most out of it.
