Care
Using your saddle for the first time:
- Premier Equine have carried out all necessary treatment processes before delivering your saddle, so you can use it as soon as you receive it.
- However, for optimum softness and protections, we advise you to apply a good quality leather conditioning balsam and leave for 24 hours to allow for full absorption, out of direct sunlight.
- Buff with a soft cloth to remove any excess.
- Beware of the risk of staining white clothes, especially during the first few uses.
- Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Regularly clean your saddle and apply a good quality conditioning balsam to preserve the suppleness and colour of the leather.
- Store on a saddle hook/saddle stand that provides even pressure.
Day-to-Day care:
- Remove any dirt and debris from the surface & girth straps by wiping down your saddle with a damp, soft cloth after every use.
- Wipe over with a dry, soft cloth to remove any excess moisture.
- Allow the saddle to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight and heat.
- Once dry, apply a high-quality leather balsam.
- Take care not to over-saturate the leather and in particular; the girth straps*.
- Allow the saddle to dry naturally in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight and heat.
- Once dry, apply your saddle cover for protection.
- If your saddle has come into contact with water, allow it to dry naturally out of direct sunlight or heat.
- Once dry, apply a high-quality leather balsam and store your saddle in a dry place.
- Do not place dirty accessories over the top of the saddle.
- Do not clean the saddle with products containing solvent or glycerine soap as these substances will damage the integrity of the saddle.
- Do not treat/grease a saddle that has not been cleaned first as this poses the risk of letting dirt penetrate the leather, damaging it.
- Please note: During the summer months, you may need to increase the frequency in which you treat your leather saddle as the sun and higher temperatures can dehydrate the leather.
- Do not over-saturate your saddle and girth straps.
- For optimum performance and longevity: apply a high-quality leather conditioning balsam at least twice a month to maintain the suppleness of the leather.
- *Warning: over-saturation of the leather & leather girth straps can cause over-absorption which can deteriorate the leather.
