Why is using the right leather care products for equestrian saddles and tack important?

​Leather saddle and tack gear is expensive, so you want to be sure that you use the right leather care products to preserve, maintain and protect your gear and keep it in its original condition. Using leather care products that are ‘too waxy’ will tend to only sit on the surface of leather collecting dust and not penetrate to moisturise the lower layers of the leather to promote long term protection. On the other hand, leather conditioners that are in liquid form without enough natural oil or wax may not provide the necessary moisturising and nourishing qualities good quality gear requires in order to maintain its natural beauty of long period of time.
