A horse saddle is like a car, for it to age well, it needs a regular maintenance in order to have a fine used saddle. If you have forgotten to grease regularly, you can catch up by starting with a good glycerine soap for saddle leather. There are different brands in the shops specialized in riding equipment.

Stool maintenance

Stool needs regular maintenance. They must be cleaned, fed (for leather saddles), check the condition of the seams and the cons-sanglons. Special care must also be given to saddles with padding made of wool. The wool, breathable and shock absorbing, has the advantage of being modulated by the saddle or the saddle fitter so that the saddle adapts finely to the horse's back. But it must also be maintained to not become packed, hard and uncomfortable.
