Skeleton Saddle
This finely made white leather saddle summons forth a Large Warhorse with the Skeleton template once per day. The Skeleton Warhorse has +4 Turn Resistance and serves the owner of the saddle to the best of its ability for four hours or until destroyed. It can be ridden in combat as easily as a Large Warhorse, and has all a Skeleton's normal immunities, resistances, and vulnerabilities.

Basically you are talking about a once per day item that casts about a level 3-4 spell (ie. somewhere between phantom steed and summon monster - although the latter generally doesn't summon undead). I'd estimate around 10,000-12,000 given the crafting rules.

What exactly does 'not as easily as a warhorse' mean? That might drop the price considerably.

I think you misread it. I don't see the "not" that you do anywhere.

He said as easily as, so I assume it's as simple as riding a normal warhorse but it's just skeletal.

This. There's a rules difference between a Large Horse and a Large Warhorse regarding how well the do in actual combat situations. A Warhorse is much more useful for mounted combat, for instance, as it's less likely to spook, shy, or otherwise become more difficult to manage around bloodshed.

does that mean you get to lug around a saddle all the time?
