Taking Care of Your Tack

Though the winter months can often be tougher on our tack than the summer, warm weather can often dry out our leather work so efficient and effective tack care is important all year round. Keeping your tack clean will ensure it remains supple and flexible and will prevent any mould spores developing. Not to mention that the British weather often brings us an impromptu shower during the summer months regardless! So why not bring your tack home today and give your bridle, saddle and breastplates some tender loving care! Regular cleaning and conditioning of saddles, bridles and other leather products will ensure your horse's tack remains comfortable, particularly important when your horse has been sweating in warmer weather. Using "leather food" will nourish your tack and increase the lifetime of your leather work, improving the longevity of your expensive gear. The Saddlery Shop offers a wide range of leather products including; dirt removing lotions and sprays, saddle soap and leather conditioning products.
