What Makes A Wade Saddle A Wade?
A Wade saddle is defined by the style of fork in the saddle tree. In case you need a reminder, a saddle’s “fork” is located at the very front of the saddle. (The saddle horn sits on top of the fork.) In a Western saddle the fork is also called the “swells,” or occasionally, the “pommel.”

While there are not any industry standards for what makes a Wade saddle a Wade, two things are commonly agreed upon:
- The style of the slick saddle fork.
- The style of the wide diameter, wood saddle horn that is built into the saddle tree (as opposed to a horn that is added separately to the tree). In addition, because of the design of a Wade saddle’s fork, the horn is closer to the horse’s back than in other types of saddle trees.
Wade saddles commonly share additional design characteristics such as a durable saddle tree made for roping, and a deep seat with a high cantle. However, these and other characteristics can and do vary from one Wade saddle to another.
