Application:

For best results, clean your leather tack with Sterling Essentials leather cleaner. Then follow with a rich, wax-based dressing, such as Bates Leather Balsam. Bates Leather Cream can also be used to replenish and rejuvenate the moisture content in your saddle, however, a leather balsam penetrates deeper into the leather and offers a surface barrier, protecting against wear, water, and sweat. Apply your leather balsam or cream heavily in high wear areas, such as the top of the saddle flap where the stirrup leathers will rub. You may apply your dressing to all areas of your saddle including the padded inserts and girth/billet straps. It’s recommended that you liberally dress your saddle with Bates Leather Balsam, allowing it to soak in overnight. The overnight process ensures maximum penetration into the leather, helping to seal in the moisture and protect your saddle.
