XD its not the best option to use a saddle,but it gives more than not using any ride pet...
1st you should wash the INT because you dont need to train him.Then if you have problem with the SPD at training just quit all the AGI.
The last stat you should wash is the CON,because the pet has low HP.
Im training a ginseng monster and the amity is not problem to trade.After trade any pet to a "wash alt" you must do pet scroll quest,then some star quest and trade the stars for Love bouquets (amity +6) at welling.
