Find a sit animation for riding horseback or riding a motorcycle. Put a pose-ball onto your saddle, which you make as prims.

Does that work? I didn't think you could sit on avatar attachments. The avatar saddles I've seen use some sort of vehicle or follow mechanics (don't mind me, only just started my first coffee of the day) - this might get a better answer in the scripting forum. I think there has been some discussion of it before because I looked into it a while back - a search will probably turn something up.
PS: On the offchance it was a Daryth Kennedy dragon you bought, there should be two saddles in the folder you unpacked.

I was working on a follow script that used feed-forward from a hud, but I am curently working on other projects.

I believe that is how the "carry me" poses work. The second person's pose ball is part of an attachment worn by the other person. Should be no different than pose balls for passengers in a vehicle.

But you can't 'sit' on an attachment - once worn it becomes a part of the avatar and when selected gives you only the same options as when you right-click an avatar, as opposed to when you right-click an object, or part of a vehicle. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm really curious, and since I haven't seen in action or tried a carry anim I don't really know how they work. All I know is the usual attachment restrictions, and the only avatar saddle solutions I've experienced personally.
If there is a way to 'sit' on part of an avatar I'd love to know it, because as I say I was doing a bit of searching into the matter a while back and couldn't find anything more effective than the 'turn the av into a vehicle and follow it' technique.

I believe this is achieved using vehicle scripts. The dragon avatar drives a vehicle that looks like a saddle and is positioned on the dragons back. The rider is simply a passenger.
This could be reversed do the rider is the driver and the dragon is the passeneger.

That's exactly right, Django.
The saddles and carrying scripts (as far as I know) are actually vehicles (some, if not most, non-phys vehicles).
The problem with them is that she don' work so good on prim ground.
If anyone has a solution to this, I, and I know Erin, would LOVE to hear it.

Grendel's Children (Avaria Tor) has rideable avatars ... in fact, rideable dragons. If you want an example of one way it can work.
