Before anything else, it’s essential to know that each Pal has their own Saddle in the game, meaning that if you’re looking to mount a certain Pal, you’ll need to craft their specific Saddle.

You can unlock your first Saddle recipe when you reach level 6. Simply open your Technology tab, scroll down until you find any Saddle for a Pal you’d like to mount and spend your Technology Points to unlock it.
