Bonnie Miller, who lives in The Villages, not only judges horse shows around the country but does superb custom leather work (like chaps with lots of bling) in her own home that she sells all over the world. You might find her in The Villages address and phone book. Here is her email.

I don’t know if she does that sort of leatherwork, but she might. She also has a large selection of amazing leather.
For heavier work in leather such as putting in new zippers, there is a little shop outside Ocala that is used by in-the-know horse people for repairs to bridles, boots, etc. Look it up online. That guy could glue the leather, but I don’t know if he does the sort of fine hand sewing you might need.
