Looking for saddle maker to replace horn cover on old saddle

[JJP5956]

Hi all,

I am having a hard time finding someone on the East Coast to replace the horn covering on a metal saddle horn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Saddle currently in NJ, while I visit my son. 

If anyone has any ideas about the saddles origination manufacturer or maker that would be great too. 

I referred to the white stitching when describing it to an old timer and he said that isn't buckstiching.???  If it isn't buckstiching as he stated, what kind of stich is it? Any ideas, he thought it might be a Chinese made saddle. I remain clueless about this because I bought it at auction and have no idea about the history, but want to restore it.

Thanks

JJ

Probably made in Mexico in the 70's. Not buckstitched but painted
