Regular maintenance is essential to preserve the beauty and longevity of leather. By consistently caring for your saddle, you not only guarantee a long-lasting aesthetic—with supple, shiny, and crack-free leather—but you also ensure optimal comfort for both rider and horse. Leather is a living material that, without care, can dry out, harden, or lose its technical qualities. Proper cleaning, followed by proper hydration, extends the life of your equipment and helps maintain all its properties, both in terms of safety and performance.
