How much to fix some stitching on a saddle?

[xelliex123x]

Hi guys!

Wondering if anyone has ever had a repair done on their saddle for stitching. How much was it? Looking to buy a second hand saddle that needs this doing and would like an idea on price. The stitching has come away from the seat on one side.

Thanks

I had two old saddles small tears stitched up and girth straps replaced for £40 each.

Can you provide some photos so I can see ?

My saddler does for nothing but I have him every 3 months for check/adjust flocking. It can be major work. I have been keeping a very old saddle going on a young horse to put off buying a new one while he changes shape

I just had stitching done on saddle flaps that had come away from knee pads, about 4 inches in total cost £15

Stitching on the seat is less easily accessible than on the flaps, and would depend how the repair was done.

Thanks everyone! Didn't realise it would be that cheap! I bought the saddle but unfortunately it doesn't fit my boy's shape.. Oh well. It was a bargain IMO so I'll sell it on!
