I love my new Waikato Wade saddle, it is beautiful and well made.  I appreciate the help Michelle and Ekel  gave to make sure I had a saddle that suited both me and my new horse and to set the saddle up with the girths so the saddle was ready to go. 
​It is very comfortable to ride in and my horse loves it too.
