Custom Wade Saddle Work

Start With the Horse, Rider and Work

A useful saddle conversation starts with how you ride. Ranch work, roping and trail miles place different demands on your gear. Tell Launa about the riding you do, your current saddle and the questions that brought you here.

The Wade name describes a saddle style; it does not tell you whether a particular tree fits your horse or whether the seat suits you. A low wood horn and slick fork are recognizable features, but the whole saddle still needs to be considered.

• Describe your horse, your riding and any concerns with your current saddle.
• Mention your usual seat size and what feels comfortable or awkward in the saddle you ride now.
• Explain the features you are looking for and any questions about current options.

Explore Your Options Before Deciding

A custom saddle is one possible route, and current shop inventory is another. Bos Saddlery carries a changing selection of western gear, including used and consignment pieces. Check the available saddles while you consider what matters most for your riding.

Use the saddle fit guide to prepare your questions. Seat size, tree measurements and a saddle's appearance each tell you part of the story. Comparing those details with how the horse moves and how the rider sits is more useful than choosing by a style name alone.
