Lot of talk on different forums stating that tan saddle serge is no longer available. Well I’ve got lots of tan serge so if you want your old stock saddle relined in tan, message me. This is genuine Australian made serge. Doing a saddle at the moment in tan , I’ll post pictures when completed

New serge linings in your old stock saddles. Price starts from $750. Due to the way these older saddles where made they will normally require repairs to the panel tops.

Need to have a saddle seat replaced? I'm showing a before and after photo's of a quality English saddle which I've replaced the seat in. I can replace the seats in all types of saddles including, but not limited to :- all brands of Show saddles, Stock saddles,, Side saddles, Western saddles, and race and Exercise saddles. Ideally get this type of repair done ASAP so as not to cause damage to the saddle skirts/flaps. Also be patient when this saddle is being repaired as it is NOT a "5 minute job", it is very time consuming and requires the saddle to be stripped down. Contact me for further information if reqired. Regards Trev

The new year is well under way and show season will soon be upon us. So it's time to get your saddles out and get those repairs and alteration done in preparation for the shows. I urge you not to leave them to the last minute as I may not be able to repair them in time for you.
A reminder that I am the Queensland authorized repairer for the Bates/Wintec saddles, a preferred repairer for Kieffer saddles (I also have an alteration bench) but I do repairs on all makes and types of saddles. That includes race and exercise saddles, show, side saddles, stock saddles, especially the older full flap with serge linings. If you have that old stock saddle that "granddad had" I can restore it for you. Give me a call on 0407549765, regards Trevor "making and repairing saddles and harness since 1971"
