This well used saddle seemed like a regular smooth leather but the truth was to be revealed...

The roughout refreshed and revealed!

Look at the beautiful golden roughout that was hiding!

This hardworking saddle had some major damage to the rigging.

And now it's ready to go back to work!

This 6 generation saddle was pressure washed and it caused severe damage. The owners didn't think it could be saved.

A lot of work later and it is restored. It was an honor and pleasure to return this saddle to its owner.

This IS the original suede seat. We did not install a new tan suede. The only thing changed is we put in a new, contoured patch.

This saddle is between 98 & 111 years old. It is still used on a ranch!
