I know this is an older post but I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. I just got a custom wade on a laporte poly tuff tree a couple weeks ago. It is the best wade I've ever ridden in, hands down. I was very skeptical at first, but gave it a go. The tree is light and tough, the cable rigging pulls evenly down on the front and rear of the tree (you can rope just fine single rigged) and it fits a whole lotta horses very nicely. The seat is really nice and narrow with a close contact because the ground seat is built into the tree (that's how I understand it). The saddle with double rigging and stirrups weighs 30 pounds. I love it!! I'm not sure of how to order one, but I've been thinking of buying one and just hanging fenders on it to use as a light weight mountain saddle. If you find out where to get one, let me know, I'm hooked!

Cheers,

Hanem

I had an opportunity to ride one a few years ago. It was just skeleton rigged. I liked it alot. The seat felt good and I liked the cable rigging, no bulk at all. Chris
