Scrapes on a saddle

[Horses_and_ponies]

I hope someone has a magic remedy for me ?

it looks like one side of my saddle was scraped against a wall and there’s a number of relatively deep scratches and scrapes on it. It’s not that old and I have it in perfect condition in case of needing to sell it in future. Is there anything I can do to help buff the scrapes out or is it permanently damaged?
Thanks in advance for all advice!

Balmoral equestrian can repair scuffs and scratches. They did a beautiful job on my saddle. They have a website with photos before and after. I'm sure that there must be other companies about if they are too far from you.

I’ve improved a bad scratch on my saddle using Segewicks leather balm, apply liberally then use the back of a spoon to smooth the scratch. You have to move in the direction of the grain, with a fair bit of pressure.

Thank you!! I’ll look into balmoral and I’ll try the spoon to see if I can minimise damage too!

It can be teased out, beeswax, stain, conditioner, they all help and bone the scratches out.,

Most saddlers can vastly improve the look of scratched leather; I use the same technique as cremedemonthe. I did a deep cut in a noseband last week and took it from a very a prominent mark to barely visible. It saved the skin of the owner's son who had left the horse tacked up next to a wall!
