Cleaning Your Saddle by Lacy Hawkins | Sep 15, 2021 | Horse Tack, Horses, Lacy Hawkins
Riding a horse is a naturally dirty task down to the saddle. The saddle is not required to remain dirty forever. It is surprisingly durable and lasts even longer when it is maintained regularly. There are solutions available to clean and care for any saddle.
Compile Cleaning Supplies Putting together the saddle cleaning supplies is the first step. These include saddle soap, a washcloth, a bucket of water, and a coarse-bristled brush. Some people use a leather cleaner and polish for the finishing touch.
Prepare the Saddle The second step is to place the saddle in a steady, upright position on a table. The different parts need to be disassembled, like the stirrups and removed from the actual saddle to be cleaned separately. It’s essential to keep these parts in a safe place and remember to reassemble them correctly later. lacyhawkins.net/cleaning-your-saddle/
