CONVERTING STUFFED PANEL SADDLES

YES, we can convert stuffed panel saddles, that work well on high-withered horses, to fleece lined that works better on rounder, lower-withered horses or mules.

This is a stuffed panel saddle ready to be rebirthed as a fleece panel.

First the stuffed panels are removed.

Then the tree is extended with hardwood to create a shelf at the back of the saddle.

Now, to fit the saddle to the horse this interesting tool is first placed on the animal’s back and then flipped over and placed in the saddle. If there are areas that need a shim to create a good fit now is the time.

The new natural sheepskin is fitted into place, and then the fitting spider is once again placed into the underside of the saddle, checking again for a perfect fit.

And here is the finished underside, transformed from stuffed panels to fleece, and ready for many years of use.

The new sheepskin fleece adds a jaunty look to the saddle’s edge, and will ensure comfort for the animal.

ADAPTED AND PERFECTED for many more years of use.

Cost for this conversion is $995.

WE ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY WHO CAN DO THIS.
