A McClellan saddle consists of several key parts, including the tree, which provides structure; the seat, where the rider sits; and the panels, which distribute the rider's weight over the horse's back. It also features stirrups for foot support, girth straps to secure the saddle to the horse, and a cantle and pommel that help stabilize the rider. Additionally, the McClellan saddle typically has a more minimalistic design, often lacking extensive padding and offering a closer contact feel between horse and rider.

A McClellan saddle tree is made up of five wooden parts. The pommel, two side bars, and the cantle (which itself is comprised of two parts joined together with an iron strap).

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.
What were some of the problems caused by the McClellan saddle?
The horse saddle created by General George B. McClellan was an excellent innovation. One thing it did was ease the pressure on a horses backbone. The saddle also had rings that allowed a cavalry man to attach on extra equipment. And, that was the problem. Cavalry soldiers overloaded their horses with so much extra equipment it slowed down and tired the horses. As the Union's horses became exhausted, the Union, by 1864 was able to supply its armies with 500 new horses everyday.
