Removing scratches from saddle

[saddlesore]

The bloody zips on my gaiters have scratched my new saddle ? any advice for helping to buff it out?

 

[Mule]

No, but I'd also love to know the answer

 

[saddlesore]

I’m bloody gutted honestly ?

Boot polish, lots of, and some buffing.

Find a good saddler and see if they can bone it out.

Thanks guys, for such a major investment they’re very fragile ??‍

If you are near me, bring it round and I will do it for you, Oz

That’s the kindest offer! Thanks so much but I’m in Scotland

Lol, that's no excuse!
Sorry I can't be more help, there might be a saddlery near you that can do it for you?
Personally I don't charge for this service but they might do.
I have dealt with a few saddleries when I was up in Inverness quite a lot, Seaforth being the nearest. I have a few friends/colleagues in the trade up there dotted around, if you have any difficulties finding someone to help you get back to me, good luck, Oz

Lee Valley saddlers would do it for you. They are very old school, they are in the Borders so not sure how far that is for you

A couple of hours but I’m happy to drive that far for a fix- thanks! ?

You can do it yourself with a bone handled knife or similar, plenty of water and rub round and round. I removed horrendous scratches from joddy clips on a tiny saddle this way.

They are outside Galashiels. Plenty of lovely walks by the Tweed as you wait
