Floral Carved Estes Saddlery Wade

16” FULL FLORAL Carved Wade Saddle
Here are the specifics:
Custom BILL BEAN wade tree with 93 degree bars (for the record, Bill makes as good a tree as anybody today, and better than most. This is Bill’s most expensive tree used in this saddle);
Number 1 select Hermann Oak heavy skirting;
Full, XX “mixed” floral hand- carving throughout  (these patterns are totally my own and offer a free-flowing, very natural style with a heavy "old-time" Ray Holes influence)– Sheridan Brown Antiqued;
Stainless Steel 5053, flat-plate 7/8ths rigging;

This saddle will work best on a working style quarter horse, but will still fit a variety of horses very well. Many clinics/trainers will tell you this is impossible, and with the cheap-tree saddles they are peddling for some makers, that's probably true. These folks don't know tree makers like Bill Bean and Rick Reed. You pay for their trees, yes, and they are worth every penny. As with all my rigs, I spend a lot of time on the ground seat. I continuously strive to make a saddle that be be extremely comfortable on your horse and backside. This Hermann Oak leather, combined with proper construction methods, makes it feel broke in even with it being brand new.
Stainless Steel Monel stirrups (Trina Weber), lined with carved half covers;
Many , many more extras… call or email if you have ANY questions!
ANY saddle I make comes with a complete money back guarantee (minus shipping).

$5125

Look around closely and you’ll see. My fine saddles offer high quality craftsmanship, comfort, and style. I’ve got saddles being used by full-time cowboys and serious trail riders from coast to coast. Read through my website and see what they have to say about my rigs!

Selway Packer - Estes Saddlery Saddle

Here is a SWEET deal on a saddle built on a Selway Packer tree by Bill Bean- 16” seat, 4” cantle, 14” swells, 6 ½” gullet with 93 degree bars. This is a real, “Matt Dillon” type ranch saddle. The elk-hide wrapped horn is 3 ½” high with a 5” finished cap, and it does have a post horn. The Selway Packer tree is arguably the best all-around and most popular swell fork tree there is among real buckaroos. This swell fork design was made popular by Ray Holes. The swells drop just good enough to rope from, have enough undercut to cut cattle with, ride in mountain country with plenty of support, or break colts with. The saddle is made using heavy, number 1 grade Hermann Oak leather (professional oil dyed brown) throughout, and stainless steel HorseShoe Brand rigging and hardware. Of course, it’s lined with 1” think bark-tanned woolskin, only the best. The saddle will come with the laced bell stirrups shown, but the buyer could very affordably get a pair of stainless monels for a completely different look. Also, this rig has seen some very light trail use, but no roping. So, it’s in near perfect condition- not even broke in good yet. As with ANY saddle I make, it comes with a complete, full, money back option, minus shipping. This is just an ultra heavy duty, no-nonsense using saddle that’s extremely comfortable for both horse and rider. The plain saddle is about the most difficult to make and get a smooth, pleasant finish, but as you can see, this rig is very attractive without all the tooling. You’ll find the ground seat extremely comfortable. There’s also plenty of close contact with the horse, too. I have my own methods for achieving this. This saddle is designed to fit a variety of working-style horses- not overly thin or overly fat. Please feel free to contact me via email or phone for additional information.  In addition, I can make any working type ranch saddle you’d desire if this one does not fit the bill. Call me and we can talk it over!
Finally, my base price is $3000 for a plain saddle, but this one’s ready for immediate shipment for $2850 since it’s seen a little use, not nego. THANK YOU for your consideration.

SOLD!!
