Storing Saddles

[lynn]

Hiya,

I am after some advice if anyone has any tips please.

As i haven't ridden now for a few months, and it will be a few more before I do I am in the process of stipping my tack down and cleaning it all. The bridles I am stripping down, putting in bags with leather dressing so they will be well fed and supple.

The saddles, i am unsure whether to just strip down, oil and saddle soap, but what i really want to know is how do you all take care of your saddles if you want to store them for a while

Thanks

I wipe mine down with apple cider vinegar to help prevent mould and then do the soap thing.

I do mine with the oldest and bestest feed - Ko.Cho.Line, feed generously then wrap in an old cotton sheet and usually store in my loft where it is dry and cool.
