Equestrian leatherwork, tack and riding clothing repairs
Discuss saddle leather, bridles, tack, straps, riding boots and leather riding clothing, with the use of every component considered.
Equestrian leatherwork ranges from a small keeper to a saddle panel, bridle attachment or pair of riding boots. The studio welcomes tack and riding-clothing enquiries, including leather straps, seams, closures and surface care. Each piece is assessed in the context of how it is used.
Structural damage and appearance wear are different concerns. A strap that has weakened beside a buckle may need a different response from sound leather with worn colour. Explain the purpose of the component and retain the whole assembly where practical, so the surrounding leather and fittings can be reviewed together.
Work to discuss
- Assessment of saddle outer leather, flaps, stitching and accessible panels.
- Bridle, tack, strap, keeper and suitable leather-fitting repair requests.
- Riding boot, leather riding clothing, lining and fastening repairs.
- Cleaning, conditioning and finish restoration for appropriate leatherwork.
What the studio assesses
- The strength and condition of leather beside the visible damage.
- The role of each strap or fitting and any manufacturer restrictions.
- Access to stitching, reinforcement and concealed attachments.
Prepare a useful brief.
- Identify the exact component and explain its normal use.
- Keep related straps, fittings and detached pieces together.
- For saddle structure or fit concerns, discuss the relevant saddler or fitting assessment before work.
