Leather oil?

[GinaB]

Mistys tack needs a really good clean. Right now i feels nearly as old as she is as it's so dry, stiff and cracked feeling. I want to buy decent products to give it a good clean and 'feed' the leather as well as treat the mould on it (although I have already been advised of a product to use to stop the mould coming back) unfortunately the tack room has no roof so damp gets in! Should I buy a bridle bag as well as a cover for the saddle? At the minute is has most of a 'dust' cover over it.

I'd definitely buy a saddle cover and bridle bag

IV Horse do special tack wipes which have a special ingredient in them which helps prevent mould and mildew - http://www.4horse.co.uk/product.php?code=LP048
They're very handy for giving tack a quick wipe over

Ooh, what product have you been recommended to get rid of the mould (and stop it coming back)?

 

[Fantasy_World]

Be interesting to know what it is but I am sure someone on here said a while back about wiping over with a cloth damp with diluted milton ( or sterilising fluid) to cure mould problems.

Ah, good tip

PF - Kao cho line helps prevent mould and mildew

 

[PapaFrita]

Oh cool, I've got some of that

 

[Fantasy_World]

ooh me too and have started using it more on some of my tack so it is good to know that it is good against mould
