I've had Wintec saddles and had a saddler add D-rings
to the saddle.  You also can get a sportpack for the
cantle or the pommel to put stuff in and those don't
need the d-rings and usually have water bottle holders
on them.
Also, for a couple of bucks are some neat gizmos that
add  d-rings to the front where your breast collar
would go. They slide over the stirrup bar and give you
an extra ring.
