Care and Maintenance

To help preserve your saddle:

1. Remove dust, sweat, and dirt after riding with a soft cloth.
2. Use a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner according to the product instructions.
3. Avoid soaking the leather or storing the saddle in damp conditions.
4. Store it on a properly shaped saddle rack in a dry, ventilated area.
5. Inspect the billets, stitching, girth attachments, and tree regularly for wear or damage.

Saddle-Fitting Advice

Choose the seat size according to the rider’s build and riding position, then confirm that the tree width and panel shape suit the horse. A saddle that fits the rider may still be unsuitable for the horse.

Whenever possible, have a qualified saddle fitter assess the saddle before regular use. Check for even panel contact, adequate wither clearance, freedom of shoulder movement, and stability when girthed.
