We are no longer building saddle trees. We have two saddle fit videos available on our westernsaddlefit.com website. Western Saddle Fit - The Basics, aimed at riders, is available either on DVD or streaming on Vimeo while the six hour series Well Beyond the Basics, aimed more for professionals but understandable by anyone, is available by streaming on Vimeo. (We left this website up because we have had many requests to keep the information available.)
Horns on Wade Trees
We made this page just to show you what the different specs of horns look like on Wade trees. For more information on horns in general please see our Basics on Horns page. For comparisons of horns between Wades and swell forks and to compare stock thicknesses please see our Wood Post Horns page.
Our three most common pitches for Wade horns are 24, 27 and 30 degrees. The first four tables compare horns at the different pitches at four horn heights - 2 3/4", 3", 3 1/4" and 3 1/2". The difference in the pitch can appear small in the pictures, but it does make a difference in real life. There are two more charts at the end, one with horns at lower pitches and one with horns at steeper pitches than our three most common ones.
Please note: These pictures are taken with the tree on a flat table. The horn pitch will be flatter when the trees are on a horse.
