Each one of our saddles is an
exceptionally fine piece of European craftsmanship. All of the raw materials
used are carefully selected and represent highest international standards.
You will be repaid many times for giving your saddle the best of care.
The care method found to be the most effective is as follows:
|
| * |
Your
saddle should be given a complete wipe-down every time it is used. Surface
dirt can be removed with warm running water and a clean sponge. |
| * |
Clean
your saddle thoroughly with a glycerine saddle soap or a mild pH neutral
cleaner at least 6-8 times a year . |
| * |
Allow
the saddle to dry at normal room temperature, never in the sun or under
intense heat. Then apply a leather conditioner, preferably containing beeswax
and natural oils, but free of petroleum distillates. Let the conditioner
penetrate deeply into the leather. IMPORTANT: Do not over-applicate
conditioners and oils, as leather can only absorb so much before a sticky
build-up will clog the leather's pores. |
| * |
Once
the leather has been cleaned and conditioned, let it dry completely. Then buff
it to a shine with a clean cloth.

Conditioning
your saddle regularly will minimize bleaching from sunlight and
preserve the color underneath the stirrup leathers, especially on
BLACK and DARK BROWN saddles. Using a saddle cover when the saddle
is not being used also will preserve the color of the
leather.
|
|
If
a saddle is used constantly, it will require these steps more often than
a saddle used only occasionally. Remember, if you want lasting service
and comfort from your saddle, take care of it and it will give you many
years of riding pleasure.

PROPER CARE YOUR COURBETTE SADDLE WILL BECOME AS COMFORTABLE AS YOUR FAVORITE
PAIR OF SNEAKERS. |
