Farewell to Buster Welch

Published

on

By Judy Wade

The world of cutting horses lost a legend when Buster Welch passed away Sunday, June 12 in Abilene. He was 94. Welch was one of 10 men who conceived the National Cutting Horse Association. He won the first edition of the Futurity title in 1962, again in 1963, 1966, 1971, and 1977.

Though his lifetime career earnings came in at 1.7 million, his achievements in the sport of cutting and his influence in ranching far exceed the amount of money he won. He won his first NCHA Open World Championship riding Marion’s Girl in 1954 and again in 1956. He would go on to win two more titles riding Mr. San Peppy, in 1974 and 1976, whom he trained for the King Ranch and rode the horse into the history books.
