  • can u use mink oil after useing the neatsfoot oil

  • @amandaandtuff  Added to say I oil top and bottom, any excess after a day of sitting out gets wiped off.

  • Don't use liquid saddle soap for one.

    A solid soap, wipe down, dry, then oil for me. 

  • I put n the saddle soap let it soak for a couple minutes wipe off the excess and then put on the oil and let that soak

  • @missyjoy16 NOOO! don't wreck a saddle. This woman has done it all wrong. Oil before the soap. Let the oil soak in overnight then saddle soap it the next day.

  • You NEVER put oil on top of Saddle soap! You let the oil soak in, than you saddle soap and polish!

  • Sorry but i think your wrong about cleaning saddles.

    you don't put the oil on the top you put it on the rough side of the leather. Because it soaks in better and the seat still may have oil on and you can get it on your pants. I clean the saddle first with a lukewarm damp cloth to get rid of dirt. But great video.

  • Just a question about "Rough-Out" Fenders and Jockeys. I know it's bad to oil the rough side of the leather, but how do you clean the rough side? I have always had rough-out fenders on my barrel saddles and they are easy to keep clean, but I recently picked up a Cecil Phillips/Jerri Mann saddle that was left to get covered in mildew in an old damp garage. How do I clean the rough out when it is that kind of dirty?

    Thanks much for your advise.

  • dude, i just got my first horsea nd this will help me. I know alot about riding and taking carem, but this is just some of the few things i don't know how to do.

  • second view yay.
