The "WADE"

The Wade is the most popular Western saddle made at Bethel Saddlery. For several years now the BETHEL CUSTOM SADDLES traditional Wade has been one of the first choices of horsemen & horsewomen throughout Australia. Suitable for stock work, colt starting and just general riding, every slick fork Wade is built using the famous Warren Wright rawhide covered saddle trees.

  The "WESTERN STOCK"

The Western Stock is perhaps the most innovative and evolutionary saddle in Australia today. This saddle is a hybrid of the tradtional Australian Stock Saddle and the American Western saddle. Some people refer to this hard working or Campdraft saddle as a fender stock saddle. Only the very best rawhide covered saddle trees are used in these Western Stock saddles.

Saddles of the highest quality are being made under the BETHEL CUSTOM SADDLES stamp. Just like any good craftsman there is a waiting time for one of these saddles. However if you can't wait for a saddle custom made to your requirements, they are proud to offer one of the best stock line of saddles and tack in Australia under the HORSESHOE B SADDLERY stamp.  BETHEL SADDLERY often have a number of New Saddles & Used Saddles for sale.
