i think the seat works if you can't solve your sitting-on-the-saddle issue
it would make the riders look like they are part of some royalty though
if you're massing these guys (like this isn't a boss in your game and you gotta fight a lot of them at some point) then it probably wouldn't look so great
you'll also want to make sure it doesn't look like the chair is going to fall off if the beast starts kicking around and running all over the place
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
