The problem is not that I cannot ride a skeleton horse with a saddle on, I can't put a saddle on it and as far as I'm aware this isn't a duplicate, because I know there's other reports of not being able to ride the horses with the saddle on.

Is this a new change or a fix for a bug then? I've saddled and ridden about nine skeleton horses in the past (they appeared pre-tamed) but I can confirm that it's now not possible.
I'll double check it and let you know. There is currently a bug where saddles and armor cannot be placed on any horses so I may have had some wires crossed.
This is a bug. I was able to ride them in 15.0 now in the beta I found a lot of skeleton traps and it doesn't even let me put a saddle on a skelly horse or ride it.
I can tame and ride normal horses I think they fixed that bug? But found a skeleton horse & there is no option to ride. Same with donkeys.
I also can no longer ride skeleton horses. I had about 15 of them in my stable,they came pre tamed,but now they have all disappeared. The only one that remains of my originals only exists because it is at least 2oo blocks from my current working location on the map. This morning 3 skeleton horses appeared in the ocean close to my base. I got them to follow me to land by holding a wheat sheaf but they no longer display a ride box. I can however leash and tether them. This all seemed to happen about a week ago after the home screen interface changed. I also cannot open minecart chests unless I crouch first. If I tap the chest without being crouched it simply wobbles till it breaks. I had a line of carts ready to transport cobblestone to a building site but after the interface change a week ago overnight I could no longer open them and ended up breaking almost all of them trying to figure it out.The one that remained I did the new crouch open procedure but all of my inventory had disappeared.
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place I am new to this forum.
Please re-open this.
I've tested this after obtaining a Skeleton Horse from a triggered Skeleton Horse Trap (considering their spawn rate is extremely low now, it took a LONG while), however none of the 4 Skeleton Horses can be saddled.
Tested in 1.0.4.1 with a Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Android v6.0.1.
FYI Aspergerian
[MCPE Mod] rplatham explained that this Works As Intended back on Sept 11. The ability to saddle and ride skeleton horses was a bug back in 0.15 which was fixed to bring PE in line with other platforms.
For what it's worth, I too had many saddled and tethered skeleton horses which disapeared at some point after 0.15.* and I was annoyed as usually they were fast as hell and great jumpers but the WAI does make sense 😞
You cannot saddle, tame or ride skeleton horses.
