What's with 'you ladies' stuff? When did I complain about anything. Shocked Razz

The front of those saddle is just the way Wades are made. I'm thinking
those are 7/8 double rigging and you can set them back a bit.
Some Wades are 3/4 double and I've even seen center fire rigging
on them. They are different looking, but the guys that ride them,
love them.

I'll say one thing, Haymaker. Those saddles can be hard to stay in.
You better get some bucking rolls. Mr. FH loves the Wades but he
has ridden other saddles so long, he just couldn't get comfy in
the Wades. He wanted to and he tried, and maybe it was because
he wasn't riding for a long time every day at that point in his life;
but he gave up on them. The guys that ride a long ways every day,
sure seem to favor the wades.

Good luck.

Wink You might be right.. Cool I'll go down and take a picture of my saddle.. I love it...

P.S.

With all the snow......( the guys drove over the fence with the geo!! Rolling Eyes )Our fences are covered over and the bulls where out. So we brought all the bulls and my saddle horses home.. The horses where glad to be home.. Usually when they come home, it's like the last one home is a rotten egg. Not so yesterday.. They just lined out head to tail single file and dog trotted to the correl... I caught them all this morning and grained them.... I think they all appreiciated it.....

Here is my saddle that I ride.. I know it's a girlie saddle but I can keep my fat butt in it..








This is what I rode when I was a real cowgirl.. Even colts!


My dad bought me a sissy saddle with white buckstitchin and I hated it.. So I latched on to his..(First one saddled gets to ride what ever the saddle.) And dad rode the sissy saddle with the white buckstitchin...

I think buckin rolls ruins the looks of a Wade saddle,but I will say wade saddles and green horses dont mix to well.
besides who said you were complainin,is your name ladies Very Happy Very Happy
good luck

I don't like either one either! Smile Probably not good grammar. They both look too wide in the fork and seat, but then I'm a girl too. Good luck choosing!

Yep Katrina that is the type of saddle I like-- some swells and cantle...The only thing I would change on that is the horn...Those tall "teamroping" dally horns have caused some bad injuries with several I know- especially broken pelvis's when the horse blew up and they ran them up their rear in the ensuing melee...

You asked which I would buy...I said neither since I am a forward sitting rider and both of those saddles would be painful to ride any length of time in. You have to pick the saddle that fits YOU.

If your wanting to show saddles for a saddlemaker cool, does she make one for a forward sitting rider ....more in the lines of a hunt seat saddle?


I dont think they make a size bigger than 16.
good luck

Great since I need between a 14.5 and a 15 Wink

Both good lookin saddles. I just don't like the dee's built into the skirtin. Seen to many start to tear. I like them atached all the way under the seat so they can be fixed easyer. And I sure am spolt to a higher back u get with the asocation tree. Good lookin saddles though.
