Veteran Posts: 138	I've been looking on and off for a "kick around" saddle for schooling and trail riding that is much lighter than my current saddle, and that I won't cry over if it gets scratched or wet. I found a pretty old Martin barrel saddle that fits the bill, except the seat is totally trashed. Has anybody had the seat of a saddle replaced, and how much did it run you? Just want to get an idea if I am going to be paying as much for a new seat as the saddle, which would be a bit silly.

I know of others that charges around 200 but well worth it if its done right and its a nice saddle.

The rest of the saddle is in good shape, and the tree appears sound which is the most important part. I have no idea what happened to the seat, it looks like it was attacked by a bear!

They can be pretty destructive!!

Expert Posts: 3815 Location: The best kept secret in TX	It's anywhere from $50 -$100 here. Depends on the type of seat wanted. Teskey's will replace a seat. May call them and ask for pricing.
