| I believe I remember seeing Gretchen Benbenek riding a saddle when she ran at The American that looked like a cutting saddle. |

Location: NE Texas | I got your pm. Mine is a Jeff Smith. I also have an older Ricky green and used to have a Joey jemison that I really liked. Jeff can custom make one any way you want. The most important think when finding a cutter to run barrels in in that it has an in skirt rigging. It makes a huge difference in how your horse feels under you! I'd be happy to answer any questions and can post a pic of mine when I get to work tomorrow. I actually have 2 Jeff Smith's and really like them. My Ricky is on a wider tree tham my Jeff but I much prefer my Jeff's over my Ricky. |

I think I saw one posted by you on a previous post. I really like that one. Would I have to custom order one like it or dothey carry some of those. I assume it is the Buster Welch Tree. What kind of money do they cost? Thanks,Mike |

He may have some in stock, I don't know, you'd just need to call. Yes, the Buster Welch tree. If you have to order the wait is about 6 weeks give or take and one tooled like mine starts at about $2600 I think.
