It’s so important to take care of your saddle in the heat!

As the temperatures are on the rise, let's talk about the importance of storing your saddle correctly and keeping it out of the sun! ☀️

Direct sunlight might feel great when you are riding but it isn't such good news for your saddle. Overexposure to the heat and UV rays can dry out the leather, causing it to become cracked, brittle or faded over time 🌡️. Once the leather has lost its natural oils it is then harder to restore.

Here's our tips to keep your saddle in top condition:

✨ Store indoors in a cool, dry place
✨ A saddle cover helps protect your saddle from dust, scratches and sunlight
✨ Regularly clean and rehydrate your saddle with a good leather balm

Good storage + good saddle care = a longer life for your saddle

Why not try the SCS Leather Balm to help keep your saddle looking new and hydrated. A tack room essential all year round 🪥🧴🧽.
