Bounding Felidar
Creature — Cat Beast Mount
Whenever this creature attacks while saddled, put a +1/+1 counter on each other creature you control. You gain 1 life for each of those creatures.
Saddle 2 (Tap any number of other creatures you control with total power 2 or more: This Mount becomes saddled until end of turn. Saddle only as a sorcery.)

Rulings
“Saddle N” means “Tap any number of other untapped creatures you control with total power N or greater: This permanent becomes saddled until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery.”
(wotc • 2024-04-12)
You may activate a permanent’s saddle ability even if that permanent is already saddled.

“Saddled” isn’t an ability that a creature has. It’s just something true about that creature. It won’t stop being saddled until the turn ends or it leaves the battlefield.
(wotc • 2024-04-12)
Creatures with saddle can attack or block as normal even if they aren’t saddled.
(wotc • 2024-04-12)
In the rare case where +1/+1 counters can’t be put on one or more creatures you control, you still gain 1 life for each creature you control when Bounding Felidar’s first ability resolves.
(wotc • 2024-04-12)
If a permanent becomes a copy of a saddled Mount, the copy won’t be saddled.
(wotc • 2024-04-12)
An ability that triggers when a creature “attacks while saddled” will trigger only if that creature was saddled when it was declared as an attacker.
