Context:
On either side of her, the twins lounged easily in their chairs, squinting at the sunlight through tall mint-gar¬nished glasses as they laughed and talked, their long legs, booted to the knee and thick with saddle muscles, crossed negligently. Nineteen years old, six feet two inches tall, long of bone and hard of muscle, with sunburned faces and deep auburn hair, their eyes merry and arrogant, their bodies clothed in identical blue coats and mustard-colored breeches, they were as much alike as two bolls of cotton.
I suspect that the author means the muscles which develop in the thighs and buttocks due to long experience of horse-back riding. However, i've never before seen a reference to "saddle musces." However, the rest of the text reads as though it were describing two horsemen.
