Long Description
The Waikato Wade Saddle is a beautifully crafted Wade-style western saddle, designed for both comfort and rugged performance — ideal for New Zealand’s diverse terrain, from coastal trails to mountain passes.
Ideal For
- Trail riders who spend long hours in the saddle and value comfort and grip.
- Farm riders navigating varied terrain.
- Riders who want a classic, secure Wade feel without sacrificing style.
- Chunky Horses that benefit from a well-spread gullet.
Why You’ll Love It
- The deep seat gives close contact and great security — ideal whether you're working or enjoying scenic rides.
- Free-swinging fenders keep your legs more relaxed and reduce strain over time.
- The roughout finish helps you stay planted, even in less-than-perfect conditions.
- The signature 5" horn delivers traditional aesthetics without bulk.
Helpful Tips
- When saddling, make sure the saddle sits behind the horse’s shoulder blade for optimal balance and comfort.
- Use a saddle pad that complements the horse — not too thick, so you don’t lose the feel.
- Regularly check girth tension, especially after you first ride — new saddles may settle.
Consider your horse’s conformation: The correct pad might help provide the proper fit. Kiwi Custom Saddles has fitting expertise if you need support.

We can come to you – $120 + mileage (to cover travel cost and time).
Michelle has heard countless stories of riders spending thousands on saddles that end up not fitting properly. A poorly fitted saddle can cause endless problems — for both horse and rider. That’s why we offer our “try before you buy” saddle fitting service.
You’ll be able to:
- Sit in the saddle first and adjust the stirrups.
- Fit the saddle to your horse and check how it sits.
- Ride in it to make sure you feel comfortable and your horse is moving freely.
It’s a simple way to be confident that your saddle truly fits — before you commit to buying.
To make an appointment, call or text 022 502 4013.
About our Saddle Fitting Service
Michelle has years of hands-on experience fitting both English and Western saddles. She can show you exactly how to fit your western saddle, bridle, and breastplate correctly – passing on all the tips, tricks, and “do’s and don’ts” to make sure your horse correctly fitted. Michelle can also take detailed measurements of your horse, giving a more accurate picture of fit. From those tracings, we can even custom-make a saddle to suit.
We also offer a “try before you buy” service that takes around an hour and a half.
- You’ll have the chance to sit in the saddle first and adjust the stirrups.
- Then we’ll fit the saddle to your horse, so you can see how it sits.
- Finally, you can ride in it — making sure you feel comfortable and your horse moves freely and happily too.
Before we book a visit, we’ll ask you a few simple questions. This helps us figure out whether we already have a saddle that’s likely to suit you and your horse. It saves time, keeps costs down for everyone, and gives you the best chance of finding a saddle that truly fits.
Please send us photos of your horse as well as you with your horse along with answers to these questions.
- Horses breed type
- Horses age
- Horses height
- Your height and weight
- The inside measurement of your leg
- Is your horse in work and well saddle trained?
- Has your horse had a western saddle on before
