Located in Troy, VA
When your saddle or tack is starting to show some signs of wear who better to turn to than the repair workshop at Stübben North America. With decades of experience backing us, you can be assured that any repairs will be up to the same high standards of the original manufacturing. We order parts and materials from the our workshop in Germany to bring your saddle back to its original condition. For more unique repairs, we hand make any necessary parts here in house.
Some of the services we offer are billet replacements, flocking adjustments, full panel re-flocking, foam to wool panel conversions (Stübben saddles only), custom knee blocks, replacing knee pads, replacing or adding flap reinforcement strips, or replacing flaps completely. Our repair team can also take care of seat leather replacement, biomex seat removal, adding biomex seats to saddles that do not have them, and tree replacement (with any tree size).
If you have a question about your saddle or accessories fill out a repair request and we will follow up with you by providing a preliminary quote and timeline for any necessary repair. Once the item is received at our workshop we perform a comprehensive examination and will update your quote with any necessary or recommended repairs/adjustments before beginning work.
