[Talk-GB] Is a saddlery limited to horses? (BE English)

[Colin Smale]

I would limit it to animals in general, not just horses - donkeys,
camels, ostriches, elephants, giant tortoises etc etc can also have
saddles. It can also be used in other contexts such as engineering,
where it would mean a component for spreading a load evenly in some way.
Motorcycles also have saddles, not seats (with the possible exception of
some three-piece suites on wheels?) 

But car seats are definitely not saddlery IMHO, they come under
upholstery.

In German there always seems to be a bit of a overlapp with upholsterer and saddler, it seems like this isn't the case in English so saddler should really be limited to horses, is that correct?
