Directions for Use

  1. Remove dust and excess dirt from the leather using a damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry as appropriate.

  2. Apply a small amount of balm with a clean, soft sponge or cloth.

  3. Work it gently into the leather, using a thin, even layer.

  4. Allow the balm to absorb.

  5. Buff lightly with a clean cloth to achieve a natural finish.

Tip: Test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on new, light-coloured, delicate or unfinished leather. Oils and waxes may darken some leather finishes.

How Often Should You Condition Leather?

  • After deep cleaning: Apply when appropriate to replenish conditioning after cleaning.

  • For regularly used tack: Inspect routinely and condition as needed, rather than applying excessive amounts.

  • Before long-term storage: Clean and condition the leather appropriately before storing it in a cool, dry place.

  • When leather looks dull or feels stiff: Check whether cleaning and conditioning are needed.

  • For new leather: Apply sparingly and gradually, following the leather manufacturer's care recommendations.

Conditioning frequency depends on the leather type, existing finish, usage and exposure to weather. Avoid over-conditioning, which can affect some leather surfaces.

Ideal For

  • Leather saddles

  • Leather bridles and reins

  • Riding boots made from compatible leather

  • Everyday equestrian tack

  • Leather-care routines at home or in the yard

  • Tack preparation before storage
