Saddle Discoloration... Water damage, tanning issue, any ideas?
Hi, hope you can help. I recently came across two saddles which I liked very much, but both have the same discoloration on all areas of the leather. It's not the normal wear discoloration we normally see confined to the area under the stirrup leathers and on the seat, but fading along with very dark patches on places that neither the rider nor the horse would have touched. Both saddles are from the same English saddle company, which quite honestly, has always had a very good reputation, so I'm just wondering if you could perhaps best guess what caused this type of damage and let me know if it can be fixed?
Thank you,
Marisa
