The English Saddle and Bridle |
Sponge is used to apply saddle soap. Saddle conditioner is applied after cleaning. Stirrup leathers must be removed from the saddle before cleaning and reattached before safekeeping.
It is important to care for your saddle or tack. Good tack is expensive and can last many years if well taken cared of. Clean, Condition, Place, and Repair are the four words to remember in taking care of horse tack. A neglected and unchecked tack can be dangerous both for the rider and the horse.

ReplyDeleteVery. Nice to read your blog. I found it while searching for saddles to use on our ranch in Luzon. It is good to know of others besides tourists who ride horses in the Philippines.
