Saddle Caramel
Pre-first ride saddle conditioning routine?
Im buying a new saddle- either Courbette Alpina or Bates CC Caprilli. Although Im unsure of that, I am sure that im buying the "newmarket"/"caramel" color.
So my question is- What oil/conditioner/saddle soap should I get to protect it from my first rides and stimulate the breaking in process?
ALSO- What products do I need for maintence after its broken in?
Please tell me WHAT and WHERE to buy.
Thanks!!! =]
Clean it with saddle soap (I use lexol). This gets any wax off and dirt from shipping and sitting in the store. Neatsfoot oil is a great conditioner - if you are worried about darkening a light saddle, use neatsfoot formula.
Lather it on really well-not so much that it is dripping off, but be generous with the oil. Let it soak in well.
For general maintenance, saddle soap and conditioner - use the oil every once in a while to help. If you are going to go to a show, oil the night before is good - but wipe it off the seat immediately. If you let it soak in and ride in it immediately, the seat tends to be really slick. For the stirrups, I roll them up after cleaning and put them in a bowl of neatsfoot oil for about 10 min, then I take them out and wipe them off so they do not drip. This keeps them soft and supple. Same maintenance care and maybe dunk them once a year or so.
I do the same with my bridle.

Ya, the color is the same. Try these sites for saddle brands/types:
And, ebay is a great site to purchase saddles and tack
Best of luck!
