Saddles | Care and Cleaning
| Dampness, dirt and extreme dryness are leather's worst enemies. Clean saddles actually ride better. After each use, wipe all surfaces clean with a slightly dampened sponge. Then wipe completely dry and store in a dry place. Lightly oil light-colored saddles before use to darken to preferred color. Oil should be allowed to dry completely before another coat is added. Oil or condition leather as needed to prevent excessive dryness. Never saturate leather with oil or any leather care product. Products with ingredients similar to those occurring naturally in leather, such as fat and tallow, are generally preferred. Petroleum-based products are not recommended. To avoid abrasion, wipe inside of boots before mounting. To supple flaps and reduce break in time, roll them tightly inward and manipulate as you unroll it. |
