Extreme Veteran Posts: 520	Has anyone ever had any luck with getting rid of the lettering on a trophy saddle? Its on the jockey and fender which are both rough out. Could it be sanded off?

By sanding down enough to take the paint off, you might weaken the fenders. It would not hurt the jockeys. Another option that has been used is to switch (sides) the fenders to use the "inside" as the outside. You may want to take it to a saddle shop to have that done.

The results can be a mess and not look right if you try to sand off, etc. Additonally depends on deeply it was stamped- it could/most likely will weaken the leather.
