Well, I would make something pleasant happen when the saddle comes out! Like a treat, carrot piece, etc, so that she associates the saddle and process of saddling with good things. This is how I have gotten my fjords to accept all sorts of things, bug spray, clippers, even shots. My Fjords are quite mannerly about treats, they know they won't get them if they are pushy.
