Child's leather saddle literally falling to pieces.

@Littlef it is an old toy saddle for a toy wooden horse. It is very charming and well made. The reason I'm not sure about taking it apart is because of the mold. I will have to work outside far away from my work area to prevent it spreading. Here it is rainy and humid now so it will be a while before i can do that.

Let's see if I can find anything to completely get rid of the mold. If I do, then that is an option.  If not. it will have to be trashed.

Right now, I plan to douse it periodically with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and vinegar for a few days. That will either completely break it down or get rid of the mold. If the latter, I might be able to get the pattern.

Sadly, by the time it stopped raining here for long enough for me to work outside, the saddle had completely fallen apart. I had to discard it. I have the wooden horse though. Wondering what to do with it.

Look into the Tandy Lil buckaroo saddle. It is a pattern that tandy had for a scale down saddle. Might be perfect for your wooden horse.

@DieselTech That's a good idea. I will do that. The poor wooden horse looks bare without a saddle. I can always scale it to fit the wooden horse. Thank you for that information.
