Oct 31, The Buster Welch trees are also identical except for seat length. One is 15" while the other is 15 1/2". These may sound like shorter seat lengths, but with the 3" tall cantles, the thigh length on them is 10 1/8" and 10 1/2" respectively.

Consider that in all day riding saddles, most people fit in a thigh length between 8" and 10", these are longer seats, as is common with cutting saddles. #82"Bare Bones" Buster Welch Ranch Roper # Buster Welch #98 Buster Welch Ranch Roper"Kat Special" Buster Welch.
