Same answer. Unless you can find a used one. I can't imagine what a new one might cost..

I had the same problem, I had a new piece of leather sewn on the top starting at the seam, almost like getting it recovered. I had to take it off, what a job, and then took it to a person who makes horse sadles. Being from Kentucky that was pretty easy, Good luck
