McClellan Saddle
While specific information about a cavalry saddle from the 1890s with the name "Warren" isn't readily available, cavalry saddles from that era were often personalized with names or initials. These saddles were typically designed for durability and functionality in military use.

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.
