Like your eating utensils and socks, tack should be cleaned after each use. Dirty tack, saddle pads and blankets can harbor fungus and bacteria which lead to unwanted skin conditions. Bits should be wiped clean after each use, and leather tack can be given a quick once-over to remove any sweat or residue. A deep conditioning 1-2 times per month will keep your tack in good shape even through our driest months. Oiling a few times a year is also a good practice to restore nutrients and revive your leather goods. We carry a wide variety of tack care products and our crew members are happy to help guide your selection.
