ABOUT WADE SADDLES
The Wade saddle style comes from the Northwest region of the United States. Tom Dorrance had Hamley’s, a saddle manufacturer at the time, designed the saddle based on a saddle Clifford Wade had, which is where the name for Wade saddles comes from. Over the years, the design was perfected, eventually becoming well-known thanks to Ray Hunt, who is credited with popularizing the Wade by riding it in many of his horsemanship clinics conducted throughout the United States, Canada, and overseas!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
- Narrow Twist
- The Williston Wade was built with a narrow twist so that riders with a narrower hip placement can ride comfortably all-day
- Bucking Rolls
- Added bucking rolls act as a supplement for the saddle’s swells since the tree has an A-fork design.
- This helps the rider stay in place during rough riding they may encounter.
- Mulehide Horn Wrap
- The Mulehide horn wrap maintains the longevity of the horn and the leather, protecting it if the rider should dally.
- Rounded Skirt
- Round skirts are perfect for the shorter-backed horse and add a stylish traditional look.
- Hardseat
- Hardseat saddles are a timeless choice and are known for their unmatchable comfort once broken in.
- Roughout
- Roughout seat and fenders provide added stick for the rider by creating friction to add grip.
HELPFUL TIPS:
7/8” Bork In-Skirt rigging is a popular rigging used in the ranching industry because it provides enough stability to the front of the saddle without interfering with movement. The added wide rear flank cinch provides a secondary method of securing the saddle for the laborious tasks of ranch work, keeping your saddle safely and comfortably in place all-day.
