And I made a point of going to work for them, and to get in where the good cow horses were and let my son, Ken, run our operation. Later on, I became more schooled in good horses, the King Ranch horses. Red: So, when you started looking for cutting horses, was there a particular group of horses that exhibited the propensity for being a cutting horse?īuster: No, not that I knew about. But I think it might have been that chuckwagon cooking that stunted my growth a little. I had one brother, Colonel, that was 6-1 and the other one was 6-2, and they thought I’d be bigger than them. I was probably nearly as big then as I am now. They were two outstanding cow men and had two years of college, which was unusual then. I worked, luckily, for Foy and Leonard Proctor. Red: You told me one time you left home pretty early.īuster: Yes. And I’d watch for a horse that’d watch a cow a little, and I’d pull him around a little on cattle. Nobody was breaking horses during the war, and I broke 107 horses for the Long X out in the Davis Mountains, and every group I’d break, I’d have a cutting horse. And everywhere I went, the cowboys gathered around, and they would talk about what they’d seen him do. I think that started me to ride cutting horses.

We were lucky enough to share some of Buster's 2021 conversation with Red Steagall in the October issue. Another character summed his outsized influence up nicely: "There's three gods in Texas: the Almighty himself, Buster Welch, and George Strait." He received a high-profile tribute of sorts last year when he appeared as himself on an episode of Yellowstone. Welch enjoyed a long and impressive career in cutting horses that won him world championships and distinguished honors from the NCHA hall of fame and the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame. The West lost one of its modern-day heroes earlier this weekend when legendary cutting horse trainer and multiple hall-of-famer Buster Welch passed away at age 94. A 24 episode anime adaptation was produced by Zexcs which premiered on Jand is licensed by Kadokawa in Japan and Funimation Entertainment in North America.We remember the legacy of beloved horse trainer Buster Welch by revisiting an exchange between Welch and Red Steagall from the October 2021 issue.
