Quoting%20commentary for Kelim 23:2

אֵלּוּ טְמֵאִין מִשּׁוּם מֶרְכָּב, זָרֵיז הָאַשְׁקְלוֹנִי, וּמְדוֹכָה הַמָּדִית, וְעָבִיט שֶׁל גָּמָל, וְטַפֵּיטָן שֶׁל סוּס. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף טַפֵּיטָן שֶׁל סוּס טָמֵא מִשּׁוּם מוֹשָׁב, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁעוֹמְדִין עָלָיו בַּקֻּמְפּוֹן. אֲבָל אֻכָּף שֶׁל נָאקָה, טָמֵא:

The following are susceptible to impurity as objects that are fit for riding upon: an Ashkelonian saddle, a Medean saddle, a camel's cushion, and a horse-cloth. Rabbi Yose says: a horse-cloth is susceptible to impurity as a seat, since people stand on it in the arena. But a saddle of a camel is susceptible to [sitting] impurity.
