Of course, it is always preferable for you to find a local professional.
If possible, I can try to put you in contact with one. However, if you can
not get local service, I will be happy to try to accomodate your
needs.
Each situation is, of course, individual; quotes are usually given on a
case-by-case basis. However, my fees are not unreasonable. (See my
regular fees
page for reference--and I even accept Paypal!) I am also willing to
work with a client who has special needs.
Click "Contact Me" in the sidebar to tell me about your situation and how
I can help you. I look forward to working with you.

Photo Saddle Analysis
Given photos from all angles, I can provide you with an approximately
500 word analysis of its external appearance and suitability for your
discipline.
Without handling it myself, I can not guarantee full soundness; cracks
in a tree can't be detected from a picture. I can give you a general
idea of the saddle's condition, wear, and straightness.
Please provide photos from: above, below, pommel-on, cantle-on,
and from each side.
Try to get the pictures dead-on; if they are at an angle, I may
require you to retake the pictures for better validity of the image.
Please use adequate lighting. If areas of the saddle are in
darkness, I won't be able to tell you much about them.
$10
Reflocking/Strip Flocking
Stripping and reflocking saddle: to restore to original condition, or
to match template measurements.
$125 to $175
Additional fees may apply,
depending on saddle condition.
