[scrumpyjackles]

ohhh no it wont let me change it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Berpisc]

Lol! gave me a bit of a nasty turn when I read that
Short answer is, no I havent, how about getting a good quality leather food/restorer type thing. I wonder if you dyed it whether that would be rainfast?

 

[vroutledge]

''Naturally'' that made me chuckle because i read if wrong too.....i read it as ''has anyone died on saddle'' lol

Try neats foot oil to darken the leather, i used this on a bridle though.

or you try calling : www.abbeysaddlery.co.uk as they sell dyes

I bet my boots that the very day you decide to wear your brand new competition kit, white breeches, all your pals have decided to come along to cheer you on, it pours with rain and you make a bit of an impression.
It is possible to dye bridles, but would not risk it with saddle, maybe you could ask saddler.

Stone dead I presume?

I would think before trying to change the colour as your breeches will end up that colour too....not a good look brown bum breeches at a show.....you would get some weird looks and avoidance. lol!!

Could have killed one or two saddles myself. There used to be a product to dye leather shoes, try a cobblers perhaps. I have with repeated layers of shoe polish & polishing turned brown boots black, leather ones that is.

I would speak to a saddler.

I've not personally killed any saddles, but one of my old ponies killed a couple when she rolled on them...

 

[Lolo]

Yes, although it was synthetic. Unfortunately, despite the dye promising it was rain fast, it seeped whenever Al rode, meaning she had suspicious brown stains on her bum and legs after her rounds!

Nah, most people die still human

aww man. i was going to say i don't anyone who's died a saddle but i'd definitely like to die a woman!

 

[tallyho!]

No but used shoe polish once.... wouldn't recommend it tbh.
