Care & Maintenance Instructions

Clean saddle after each use with a damp cloth to remove sweat, dirt, and debris. Apply quality leather conditioner weekly to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. For deep cleaning, use saddle soap with warm water, then condition thoroughly. Pay special attention to areas under flaps and around billets. The memory foam panels require no special maintenance but should be kept clean and dry. Check all stitching, billets, and hardware regularly for signs of wear. Store saddle on a proper saddle rack in a cool, dry tack room away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Cover when not in use to protect from dust. Professional saddle maintenance and reflocking may be needed periodically to maintain optimal performance.
