Use lukewarm water on a damp cloth or soft sponge to gently remove dust, dirt and grease from the surface. Be sure to concentrate on areas around the buckles and key points of contact with your horse. 2. We recommend conditioning the leather using a soap/cream sparingly, taking great care to rub gently and in a circular motion until all of the product has been absorbed.3. Using a clean cloth, wipe away excess soap/cream from the surface. 4. Leave the leather to dry naturally in a well ventilated area, away from direct heat sources.
