Find a Jeff Smith saddle with a Buster Welch tree

The Buster Welch Advantage The heart of this saddle is the Buster Welch-style wood tree, renowned for its narrow twist and specialized bar flare. This design allows for a close-contact feel that is often missing in modern stock saddles, giving you a direct line of communication with your horse’s back. By utilizing this legendary tree, Jeff Smith ensures that the rider stays in the “sweet spot” of the saddle, preventing the forward or backward “roll” that can cost you points in the NCHA show ring.

Hand-Tooled Heritage Beyond the technical tree design, this cutter features the premium Hermann Oak leather and meticulous hand-tooling that are hallmarks of the Jeff Smith shop. With an 8.5″ swell height for security and a 3″ Cheyenne roll cantle, it provides the perfect silhouette for professional competition. The heavy-duty stainless steel rigging and 100% wool lining ensure this saddle isn’t just a showpiece—it’s a durable tool built to withstand the high-torque demands of daily training. Elevate your game with the tree that defined the sport of cutting, built by a master who knows how to make it last.
