Leather care
Leather equipment deserves the best care. Whether it's a saddle, bridle, girth, or halter – proper leather care not only extends its lifespan but also keeps the material supple, safe, and beautiful. At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a carefully selected collection of leather care products specifically designed for the demanding demands of equestrian sports.
Why leather care is so important
Leather is a natural product that breathes and lives. Daily use, sweat, sun, and moisture cause it to dry out, harden, and eventually crack. Regular cleaning and conditioning is therefore essential to:
- To maintain the strength and flexibility of the leather,
- To remove dirt, sweat and grease residues ,
- To ensure the safety of straps, buckles and seams,
- And to preserve the natural shine and color .
This way, your leather equipment not only remains functional, but also beautiful and professional in appearance.
Everything for daily and intensive use
In our range you will find everything for a complete maintenance routine:
- Leather soap and cleaning sprays – remove dirt and grease without drying out the leather.
- Leather oil – deeply nourishes and makes stiff leather supple again.
- Leather balm and grease – protects against moisture and cracks, ideal after cleaning.
- Conditioners and care creams – provide shine and protection in one step.
- Waterproof products – protect during intensive outdoor use or rain.
We offer products from top equestrian brands that are safe for stitching, buckles and various types of leather.
The right care for every type of leather
Not every learning requires the same approach.
- Smooth leather : clean regularly and lightly grease for flexibility and shine.
- Suede or nubuck : special brushes and sprays that maintain the structure.
- Lined or patent leathers : mild products that do not affect the finish.
Our team is happy to help you with personal advice to choose the right products for your saddle, bridle or boots.
