Prayer reward can already uncurse a cursed saddle because hero is stuck on it. Allow scroll/spell of remove curse to do so too. The original riding implementation in slash'em operated with the saddle in hero's inventory rather than in the steed's, so it would have handled this without any extra effort. Presumeably that was overlooked when incorporating riding into nethack changed it to have saddle be part of the steed's inventory instead of hero's.
