Care & Maintenance Guidelines

To keep your Kent & Masters saddle performing at its best:

Regular Cleaning

After each ride, wipe away dirt, sweat, and moisture using a soft damp cloth or sponge. Regular cleaning helps maintain the leather’s appearance and durability.

Leather Conditioning

Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to nourish the leather, prevent drying, and maintain flexibility. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for leather care products.

Correct Storage

Store your saddle in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or damp conditions. Always use a suitable saddle rack to help preserve the tree shape and panel structure.

Professional Checks

We recommend having your saddle checked regularly by a qualified saddle fitter to ensure continued comfort and optimal performance for both horse and rider.
