Is this repairable? ( riding saddle)?

Question

I bought a used saddle, and there are some places where the leather is worn down, and white is visible. The lining in front of the saddle by the pommel is completely worn down. There are a few other places where the stuffing is close to coming out.
Is this repairable? There are a few tack repair places near my house, but I'm not sure it it's fixable.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Sounds like it is.

Almost anything is repairable on a saddle- you just have to judge whether the cost is worth it or if it'd be better to get a new saddle.

Have someone look at and they'll tell you whether it's worth it or not.

Answer 2

The same thing happened to me while ago, we took it into the tack shop and they repared it but..... three days after I got it back I was running home from hte barrel pattern and the whole entire leg peice came off. This was a western saddle and I don't know much about English saddles but I really don't think the cost of fixing a saddle is worth it. GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 3

It's free to get an estimate take it there and find out maybe they have some used saddles for sale or know of some. I have an English and western saddle for sale if you live in NY e-mail me.

Answer 4

As I can not see the saddle I can not know the exact condition of it. I say you should take it in to someone to look at all the same. It wont cost you anything to have it looked at and they will be able to answer your question. I suggest you take it to a leather shop or cowboy boo reatailer as they can be of help :)

Answer 5

Take it to the tack shop and they should be able to tell you. Leather is often repairable depending upon the level of damage.

If you don't want to take it to a tack shop, take it to a leatherman (shoe repair guy).
