Crate Wade Custom # 30509 17" Category: Roping Saddles Purchase: I found this Alabama based saddle maker on Ebay while looking for a used saddle. I did some research on the company and found that they actually build saddles and produce many parts for several top saddle manufactures. I called the owner Jerry and after lots of questions and several more calls, I felt confident that I had found a company that could build what I wanted. Likes: I liked the fact that I could change the stirrup leather from on top the fender to under it and add the extras (basket weave) as I liked. Their makers have been building saddles for over 40 years. I had called several other custom builders and I was bounced from person to person and no one could give me a definitive price. My Riders Choice saddle was built in 3.5 weeks and Jerry also sent me photos of my saddle being put together. When I opened the box and lifted it out I realized it was not a cheap built light saddle it weighed in at about 45 lbs. I fell in love with it. The leather was super thick and the workmanship was just as Jerry had promised the best. Oh! And when I dallied the first calf I just smiled “Way To Go Jerry” Dislikes: The only thing I don't like I don’t have enough money for a second one. Quality: The construction of the saddle is the best I have had, and I have owned quite a few. The leather is American 15oz heavy grade. The tooling and the construction in the saddle is best I have seen. Summary: You will never catch me on another saddle that does not say Riders Choice on the label. I have ordered several saddles that never fit my Appaloosa Jerry took the tracings or template I made from my horse’s back and put together a saddle that probably will out live me it is the best investment I have made. These people care about the horse, the rider, and their product. They build saddles right and they build them the way you want. Author: Ronald Reedy I have been into horses for 40yrs. Shown at world and congress. Never had anything but TexTan and Big Horn. This saddles far exceeded my expectations. It is much better made than the others. Better than Billy Cook. Great solid well made saddle. Thanks. Will probably purchase another in the near future..Thanks Lorraine Back in July I ordered a G.W. Crate 17" roping saddle from you. I received the saddle and breast collar at the beginning of August. After extensive testing being used as a wrangler for High Mountain Stables, a trail riding company in Mormon Lake, Arizona, and accumulating a few hundred hours of saddle time from August to October, this is by far the best saddle I have ever owned. The comfort level of this saddle is exceptional! Spending 6-7 hours in the saddle on a busy weekend day is nothing. The owners were amazed at the quality and value of it. They were shocked at the low cost and the great quality. I have been a name brand cowboy for years before buying Billy Cook, and various circle saddles. Your saddles are right up there with them. I am sure glad I found your company, and will be a customer for life if I ever wear out the one I have now. Thank you for making such a great saddle at such an affordable price. Customer for life, Derek Dail Manager High Mountain Stables Hi Jerry good to here from you again. Tell your customers that this G.W. Crate saddle is the best saddle that i have ever bought and it is a year old and still looks and feels brand new. I am 48 years old today [yes its my birthday]and it looks like this saddle will be the last one i will ever need to buy. I will wear out before it does. Lots of compliments from a lot of cow-boys&cow-girls. Just a great- handmade cowboy saddle. Brad Hello Jerry, Just wanted to let you know I love the saddle ,it looks great and rides better than the 2 Bill cooks I have , as far as that goes it is probably the most comfortable saddle I have ever set in (35 years of riding)..to make it even better I put it on 3 different size quarter horses and it fit everyone of them perfect. No build up pads or cut back pads needed with your saddle ..I will be buying a couple more from you in the future .thanks ,Bill...PS you can use this in your add if you want I think everyone needs to try your saddles out..
