Hi guy, I'm fairly new to this. 

Got my first stcjing pony today. I'm so excited to start making some quality stuff. 

My pony came with some padding, some stretchy, shiny stuff. 

I guess my first question is, should I use the pieces given or just use veg tan scraps or chrome tan scraps? 

My second is how do I attach it. I was thinking using some glue that I have, but if I'm being honest I don't know if it's contact cement or what. I thought that it wouldn't be a good idea to use too strong of a glue either, for replacement purposes. 

Thanks in advance.

Use the padding that came with the pony; if it works, why change it?

If you need to change it, I'd use undyed veg tan and glue it on with whatever you have. It would be very rare to change the leather on a stitching pony. When and if you do it won't be very difficult to cut and scrape it off, back to the wood

Have a look at a few YouTube videos and you'll see that some of their leather padding has obviously been on their pony for a long time and seen much use, but it's still OK
