Tack Repair
No project is too small! Next to saddle repairs and custom saddles, I typically have a pile of smaller repairs in the line-up. Some of the smallest things in the horse world are the most important - like that one broken keeper on your bridle's noseband. Below is a list of smaller repairs I can perform. Most of these repairs that may require hand-stitching can bring you anywhere from $15-$40.

Odds & Ends
Non-horse people can also bring items to the repair bench that may not have anything to do with horses. Most things can be repaired or patched! I have seen and repaired all kinds of belts, purses, bags, wallets, knife sheaths, binocular holders, and more. Lately, items like purses, jackets, and chaps have been passed along to Jenny, who has her own machine and workspace in the saddle shop. Jenny is as talented as they come, and you will not be disappointed in her work. Below is Jenny's contact information for most of your odds & ends.
