Queen Bean of Ponyland Posts: 24954 Location: WYOMING	Bought a used saddle that has a horn that is unraveling. Its wrapped in vet wrap right now but that is kinda getting gross. Any ideas on good things to wrap one with that dont get mucked up?

Location: KS	I had mine rewrapped with rawhide. Any saddle shop should have some and we just used 1" wide and did the whole horn.

A Somebody to Everybody Posts: 41354 Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas	Had this happen many years ago the mice chew the rawhide so took it to a leather repair shop that was a friend of mine and he took off the rawhide and replaced it with leather. He rebuilds saddles so he knew what he was doing.

Expert Posts: 1482 Location: on my horse	Either take it somewhere and get it replaced with leather, or go with tape. You can get duct tape in 100000 colors now and some of them aren't even totally redneck I just taped up my horn (same problem) and part of a stirrup with duct tape because I can't afford to get it fixed right now (don't worry, stirrup is still safe to use!)

Member Posts: 8 Location: Illinois	I had the same problem and fixed it with an electrical "tape" my dad had. It's not sticky but seals with pressure. It's made to make a waterproof seal on electrical wiring and was by the regular electrical tape at the hardware store. I've had it on there all summer and it still looks like I just put it on. It's really held everything together.
