In order to preserve the leather from premature ageing, keep in mind these suggestions:

• Storage: Store the saddle in a dry place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. This will help prevent premature aging of the leather.
• Summer care: During the summer season, increase the use of balm and oil to moisturize the leather, as the sun and high temperatures can dehydrate it.
• Winter care: In winter, make sure to store the saddles and tack in a dry environment to avoid mold growth.
• Drying: If the saddle leather comes into contact with water, dry it thoroughly and clean it with Prestige Leather Balsam. Afterwards, store it in a dry place.
• Moderate use of oil and balm: Avoid excessive application of oil or balm on the fittings to prevent damage or breakage.
• Use of stirrup leathers: Use Prestige non stretch leather stirrup leathers to prevent premature wear of the flaps.
• Cleaning: Avoid using products containing solvents or glycerin-based soaps to clean the saddle, as they can damage its appearance and integrity.
• Avoid overlapping: Avoid overlapping your saddle with other saddles, as excessive pressure could damage the panels flocking.
• Attention to the tack: Avoid placing dirty tack directly on the saddle, as direct dirt contact can prematurely dry out the leather.
• Avoid rubbing: Do not rub the reins against the front piping of the saddle to prevent premature deterioration of the components.

• Do not clean the saddle with products containing solvents or glycerin soap, as these substances will damage the integrity of the saddle;

• Do not put your saddle over others, as the excessive pressure may damage the panels flocking;

• Do not place dirty accessories over the saddle: the seat leather may dry out prematurely if in direct contact with dirt;

• Do not rub the reins against the front piping of the saddle: this may lead to an early deterioration of the components of the saddle.
