Location: NE Texas | I have two Jeff Smith cutters that I had made single skirted with in skirt rigging to look like a barrel saddle. Both of my saddles are on the Buster Welch tree and have a really nice pocket to sit in. I allllllllmost sold one a couple weeks ago but I decided I just couldn't let them go. I was scared it would take me too long to get another one.
I've not sat in Tami's saddle, but it has a higher cantle than my saddle does. I do ride a bit bigger seat in this saddle. I usually ride a 14.5" barrel saddle but ride a 15" in this saddle.
Prior to the JS cutter I had made, I was riding a Joey Jemison cutter and I still have an old Rickey Green that belongs to my mother. I use it to ride outside horses and colts in. LOOOOOVE the way a cutter rides and don't think I could go back to a traditional barrel saddle.

This is what I was thinking of having done- I have been ridding a Masters on a Pheonix tree. I have sat in 15638946393 barrel saddles and hate them all but mine until I sat in a cutter and it had the same "feel" |

If ya'll like the Roo, better NEVER ride a Joey Jemison. Ohhhhhhh my! That woudl be my saddle of choice to have built if money were no object. The one I had was 100% worn out and still rode like a dream! |

I don't think Stanley has any of them done yet. Mine is going to be on a Bob Marshall cutting tree and will look like a stripped down cutter. I'm really looking forward to working on it once the tree is completed. They're having to carve the bars by hand since they don't usually make trees that small. Mine is a 14.5" |

Why not just run in a cutting saddle? If you're comfortable in it, I say use it. I've rode cutters in my barrel saddles plenty of times. I like it better.

For me, it was hard to find a true cutter in a seat any smaller than a 15" other than having one made. I was running in a 15.5 Joey Jemison. Had a 16" Marty Byrd and it was just too big. I typically ride a 14.5" barrel saddle. Plus, the cutters are mostly double skirted, long skirted and full double rigged. My horse is pretty small, so I wanted the shorter single skirt so it wasn't hitting him at the top of the hip, and also wanted the in skirt rigging to get as close of a "close contact" feel as possible. I did ride and run in my true cutters for a while before I had mine made, but was able to make the changes I wanted to best suit my needs after I knew the ride and the seat size I wanted. |
