Extending the working lifespan of your saddlery requires simple, routine maintenance tailored to the material type:
Leatherwork: Wipe away sweat salt and arena dirt with a damp sponge and glycerine soap after work. Periodically nourish the hide with a quality leather balsam or oil to keep fibers supple and water-resistant.
Oilskins & Canvas: Hose down dried mud with cold water only. Never use hot water, detergent, or machine cycles, as these strip the protective wax barrier. Re-proof high-friction shoulder seams as needed with oilskin dressing.
Storage: Keep saddles on wide, shaped racks and store bridles on rounded hangers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated tack room away from direct sunlight and damp floors.
