Is Ray Symonds still saddle making??

[OrchidPants]

As the title says really..

I bought a Symonds saddle from a saddle fitter last year second hand and its the only saddle ive found that fits my awkward pony without spending a fortune on a made to measure saddle. It soo comfy to ride in and my pony loves it! When I bought it i noticed it had a slight rip on the side of the knee roll which i assume the previous owner had badly sewn up! Well now it is ripped and you can see the inside of it. Id love it of Ray could repair it as he's the person that made it. Its an old suede saddle which the suede has practically all worn off, does anyone know if it could be recovered in just a brown leather also?? sort of a saddle refurbishment

Any info would be greately apprieciated as i need my saddle sorting asap!

Thankyou you lovely people :biggrin4:

ETA Maybe if he isn't still making saddles, he may do repairs. A saddler local to me for example no longer makes saddles but instead focuses on repairs and fitting.
