Issue:
Saddles lose their name after 'using' it on a horse.
Steps to reproduce:
Name a saddle using an anvil.
Right-click on a horse to equip the saddle.
Remove the saddle from the horse's inventory.
The name has been removed from the saddle.
Expected behavior:
When mobs pick up dropped items, such as a zombie picking up a sword, the items keep all their information (name, enchantments, etc). I expected my saddle to retain its name after equipping it to a horse.
During the early game, when nametags had not yet been acquired, I tried naming saddles so I could check the horse's inventory and look at the name of the saddle to help me tell the horses apart. If I open the horse's inventory and manually place the saddle on the horse, the saddle keeps its name. However, if I right-click on the horse with the saddle in my hand it immediately puts a (generic) saddle on the horse and removes the named saddle from my inventory.
Using a saddle on a pig or strider has the same result, they drop a generic un-named saddle upon death. I suppose that is to be expected for pigs and striders as they don't necessarily have an "inventory", but rather a true/false value for their saddled property. However, I know that the inventory of the horse CAN hold a named saddle because it works when placing the saddle on the horse manually. So, I believe that 'using' of a saddle on the horse should work the same way (have the same effect) as placing it on thru the inventory interface, allowing it to keep its data.
Right-clicking a mule or donkey with a saddle in your hand does NOT automatically equip the saddle, so this cannot be replicated for those animals.

Duplicate of MC-91005 which is marked as Works as Intended which means it isn't a bug and won't be fixed.

I do not believe this is a duplicate. The other issue is regarding PIGS, which I stated is the expected behavior. I stated that this behavior DOES happen on horses, but only when 'using' the saddle.
Quote of other ticket (MC-91005):
Renamed saddles do not keep their name when used on pigs - note that horses do not exhibit this behavior
This ticket is actually a duplicate of MC-191591.
