Repairing saddle trees

[Twiglet]

I've got a Wintec dressage saddle that has been gathering dust in the tack room for the last couple of years, as it has a cracked tree. Not sure how it happened - I bought it second hand and had it checked by a saddler but since lent it to a couple of people, and hadn't checked the tree myself when it came back. Anyway, does anyone know if there's a chance of this being repaired? Didn't know if there was anyway of using a resin or anything to stick it back together, or whether it would make it too weak to use.

Am thinking of getting a new project pony, and it would probably come in quite handy!

No sorry you have to have a new tree, a repair will not hold it'll just brake again. Or thats what we we're told when we did our training, with a master saddler.

New tree I am afraid but if you contsact the makes they will tell you how much to put one in I did this with my Barnsby and was surprised how cheap it was

Thanks for the responses guys. So best to contact Wintec by the sounds of it.....although not sure it'll be worth doing considering how much the saddle itself cost.
