Some one on here had one. If you do a search on here for them you will find it. It was on a thread about corriente barrel saddles |

Better then what the price reflects.  |

Location: Opelousas, LA | My son has a kids version of the Wade from Corriente and it is a great saddle. When I got it I wet the fenders and turned them, when it dried I oiled the crap out of it with the saddle oil from Caldwell. It is an awesome little saddle and fits all the horses I have put it on, there is a good reason you never find them used and if you do they cost just as much as a new one. |

| I won my so yes- a million times better lol. But I really like mine. It fits my horses really well. It's pretty, well made and affordable to buy. You can even get one customized for a grand total of like 650? I like the deep seats so it fits me but it us not to deep as where you are PARKED there and can't move. |

Location: Georgia | I just discovered there new barrel racers. These look really nice from the picture and the price could not be better. I am considering getting one as a second saddle. |

Location: KS | I have a wade my husband got for me several years ago, very nice saddle and fits my horses nice. It doesn't fit me real well though, Im fairly small and just don't fit it in well. I was told once that wades are built more for big sturdy men and that's probably why I don't feel secure in it. (don't know if there any truth to that?) |

| We bought an association for my husband to ride colts in. They are better quality than their price. When he got his saddle he oiled the crap out of it, the whole thing, rough out and all. It took all the squeak out and really softened the leather.
Something to remember about corriente though is their trees are pine wood wrapped in rawhide. So if you have a horse that may flip over there is a good possibility of breaking the tree and their 5 year warranty is for defect only. The swells will break away from the bars if you are busting a lot of heavy cattle tied off. |

Location: home for the winter...what a dumb idea | I have had my wade for 4 years...love it for the price. Needed a lot of oil but it has held up well. The only thing I did not like was the saddle strings are not through the tree....I drilled it out and put them through.. also I would get the barrel racing fenders or have them shorten their normal ones if I got one a again. I am 5'4" and they are to bulky for me and almost don't get short enough. |
