Extreme Veteran Posts: 364	The tree style is basically just the name they give the tree based on how the swells are shaped in the front. It has nothing to do with the way a tree will fit. Some examples of tree style names are Toots (TM), Olin (OY), Wade, Buster (BW), etc.

Take a Picture Posts: 12841	The tree is a modified version of a chugging saddle tree that Buster Welch designed. I have a Billy Cook with a Buster Welch tree. It fits all my horses except my huge paint. He has to have a wider gullet. It rides good. That is supposed to be cutting saddle. My phone has a completely different view of life from mine.

Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	This is a great article describing what you’re after (only it’s not the answer you’re after) http://dgsaddlery.com/which-tree-style-would-fit-my-horse-better/ BW, TM, Olin, Wade, actually only describe the front and swells, something I just learned last year - from BHW I believe - when I was saddle shopping! The bars, which will make the fit, can be anything.
