No, the saddle and boot are for the unscaled MilCat. Which loads just about the size of a cougar. It probably would be scalable for the BigCat2 or even the original MilBigCat with variable success though. I did scaling for the Hivewire Horse, Big Cat and House cat and all of them came out acceptable with some tweaking. Haven't tried them on actually posed figures, yet. Just the basic figure as they loaded (except for the one with the family and the pony. That took quite a bit of tweaking due to the morph.)

The cinch to the saddle is a separate bone (not material. The materials are basically leather, wood and metal) so it can be turned off if needed, and replaced by a strap around the animal. The boot will require something more extreme to deal with, since the object is all one piece and the matt zones would need to be diddles with in the geometry editor to get any kind of a handle on things.
Can you export the cinch separately as an obj file with textures and reimport and parent it to booot!?

If I remember correctly (I did that illo several months ago), the cinch is not a matt zone, so I'd have to go after it with the geometry editor to separate it out from the rest of the model. All in all, it's simpler just to turn it off and use a separate strap.

That was the impression I had as well when I first saw the render, though I did have to stare at it to realize that was a leopard back there.
