Apply your glycerine soap (pure) on a wet sponge, starting with the most delicate parts (fine leather and color), seat and cleats. Rinse your sponge, repeat the same operation for the quarters, then clean the parts most in contact with the horse (padding, linings and straps) and let dry.
Plan to clean regularly, after 2 or 3 uses and at least once a month.
Allow to dry before proceeding to the second step which will nourish and moisturize the leather. Apply the cream with a soft sponge on all the leather parts of your saddle avoiding an abusive use on the seat which could then prove slippery.
Plan a regular feeding, once a month or more depending on the frequency of use of the saddle, the suppleness of the leather and the external conditions (rain, mud, sand, sun…)
