Saddle leather repair? I have a saddle that I want to supply since we have...

I have a saddle that I want to supply since we have sold our horses. However, the saddle have been scuff and has a hole contained by the leather strip on the backside of the seat of the saddle. My ask is, can I replace the leather myself or does the whole form need to be remove and the piece sewn on.

The saddle is by Buffalo Saddlery and the piece does hold whip stitching around it - leather on the top side of the leather seam and a metal stitiching on the bottom. Or is it possible only to put another strip over the previous one and stitch it on.

If I decide to hold it done by someone who repairs saddles how much do you consider this process would cost? I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to own it repaired before selling.

Thanks!
A/C give a hand! Has anyone hear...
Answers:    Any time you occupy a repair service to correct a problem on anything, you reduce what you may be competent realize from just selling the point as is. Sure it would look good when repaired by a saddle shop, but it will cost you sometimes more that the saddle is worth of late to repair it. I never discourage anyone from trying to do something for themselves. If you have the tools, materials, and time, you may be capable of make the repair yourself. Try it. My TRUE suggestion, is to sell it as is, consent to the buyer make the repair if needed. A lot of horsemen prefer an "experienced" saddle, one that have seen a few rides, and doesn't obligation broken in to find the most comfort out of it. Price the saddle fairly, and you'll own no real problem selling the entity.
