Today I cleaned my tack :)

Seriously though... it was disgusting!

Maybe tomorrow I will tackle the other 8 saddles...

How many of you leave your tack until it can stand up by itself

I do wipe my tack over after every use. I use Effax Leather Balsom so only needs applying as and when.

I plan to clean mine at the weekend, I try to clean it regularly if I have the time

I clean mine every time I use it. It's too expensive to not take care of and can be dangerous if not cared for.

I brought mines home at the start of the week. My ponies had a Xmas holiday and within a few weeks my bridles were mouldy! I got my 4yr old daughter to help ;-)

Good for you, that's one job I hate.

I bought saddle soap today thats a start

I am very bad I clean mine every few months. I clean my bit after each use though.

Mines had an extended break and I thought Id take him for a hack tomorrow... ventured into the tack room and took off the saddle cover and there was a furry green lump where my saddle was... talk about nastyyyy! Only my best saddle goes mouldy, the other 8 are shiny and not mouldy despite never getting used!

I cleaned mine yesterday. It was such a lovely day I sat in the garden, in the sunshine and did it. Washed numnah and girth as well.

All tack is cleaned every Friday .
my precious new Albion dressage saddle is cleaned everyday it's used
bridles twice a week and every time they get wet. Also saddles if they get wet .
And when ever horses go to a clinic show or hunting.
If I had more time I would have it all cleaned each time it's used.

I have paid alot of money for my tack so I make sure I look after it!! I have a hand made bridle that is 14 years old and still looks like new. IMO it's lazy and inconsiderate to your horse not to keeps it's tack clean!

 

[SavingGrace]

I clean mine alot, I am quite the work horse when it comes to clean tack lol x

 

[Nannon]

When he was in work it got cleaned every weekend - mostly due to competitions most weekends. Bit always get rinsed after use, but seeing as hes been a field ornament for best part of a year with very occasional leg stretches, its just been gathering dust (and mould)

I hate having dirty tack. Clean and oil my bridle nearly every week and scrub my wintec once a month at least, depending on how much mud we've been galloping through wash my bit, girth and stirrups down after every use (if girth and stirrups have got sandy/muddy)
