A leather saddle plays a big part in your everyday riding, whether you’re out hacking, training at home, or competing. To keep it looking smart and feeling good to ride in, regular care goes a long way. Saddles put up with a lot—sweat, mud, rain, dust, and daily wear—so giving yours a proper clean helps maintain its shape, comfort, and performance over time. This step-by-step guide covers everything you need to know about looking after your leather saddle, from cleaning to conditioning to choosing the right products.
When choosing a saddle for your horse, it's natural to feel a bit overwhelmed. There are many types out there, each with its own purpose. But if you're looking for something versatile, practical, and suited to a range of disciplines, the GP saddle is a smart place to start. At Cavaletti Collection, we’re often asked about GP saddles—what they are, what they can do, and how they fit into a rider’s day-to-day routine.
At Cavaletti Collection, we know that a well-fitted saddle is key to your horse’s comfort, soundness, and ability to perform. Horses change shape with work, age, and seasons, so keeping their saddles fit under regular review is one of the most important parts of caring for them. A professional saddle fitting allows you to assess your horse’s current shape, check that your saddle is still supporting them correctly, and make any adjustments needed.
Good horse care is the foundation of a healthy, happy partnership between the horse and the rider. Whether you’re a first-time owner or a seasoned equestrian, providing consistent care and attention is key to ensuring your horse’s well-being.
From daily routines to seasonal adjustments, understanding the essentials of horse care can make all the difference in your horse’s health, behaviour, and performance.
