A lot of people have asked me about leather care. I really like the whole “LEATHER THERAPY” line of care products!! I recommend keeping your tack as clean as
possible by using the LT “Wash” on a daily basis if needed. Then about 2
times a year, (or if your tack is super dry), I think it is a good idea to use
the LT “leather Restorer/conditioner.”
I have found with the use of this product line my occurrence of mold has
dramatically reduced!!! It should be noted that you never want to
over-oil your tack!! Especially the expensive bridles that I am selling.
Too much oiling actually voids any manufacture warrantees. It makes the
leather too soft and compromises the integrity of the leather.
This is also true for any nice saddle.
A well-made saddle has been built with good leather that is already
impregnated with lanolin. When you first get your saddle, (if it is brand new!), it is a good idea to put it near a heat source and gently massage in as much leather conditioner as rapidly soaks in. The new saddles will feel slick and stiff at first. A tiny bit of warm water on a well squeezed out sponge along with a leather conditioner is the quickest way to help break them in! Using warm, (NEVER hot!), water when you clean your saddles is fine!!! I sometimes use Murphy’s oil soap and fairly warm water to do a deep cleaning. I do avoid much water with the bridles and finer strap goods! Mainly with the bridles just keep them clean! Avoid too much oil usage! Both
the WASH and the RESTORER
are also PERFECT to add to the cold wash water with those DEERSKIN
breeches I now carry!!! NOW STOCKING THE WASH ADDITIVE LINE FROM LEATHER THERAPY!! New page stocking Wash additives: LEATHER THERAPY
