I think Shadowfax won't use a saddle because if he trusts you, he won't let you fall off. As for elves, I think they used saddles regularly. Half the fun of owning a horse is having a great saddle to show off. With all the beautiful things Elves can make, I bet they could make incredible saddles.
Perhaps Legolas didn't like the saddle of the horse he was given. Maybe he wanted to show off his horsemanship. Just a few thoughts.
