Saddle Leather: What Is It, Its Uses

Saddle leather is a type of leather that is soft and pliable. It is used to make a type of cover for a horse’s back. The saddler uses this material to make a mold or form of the horse’s body. Saddle leather is more supple than other types. It tends to be thicker and more durable than other types of leather. The thickness of saddle leather ranges from 1.5mm to 4mm. It is also called “barrier” or “protective” leather because it protects the horse from injuries. When the horse’s back is covered with this material, it is called a “saddle”.

Types of Saddle Leather

If you’re a horse owner who has a saddle that has become too thin or worn out, you might want to think about getting a new one. Here are some important things to consider about saddles and their leather. There are many types of saddle leather, each with its own strengths and features. The most common types are Morocco, suede, and bridle leather. Morocco is the most supple, lightweight leather that one can use in saddle making. Suede is very durable and can be used in almost any situation due to its water-resistant properties. Bridle leather has a highly polished finish like suede but it offers slightly less resistance to wear and tear than the other two types of leathers.

How Do I Care Leather Saddle?

You need to clean your saddle every day so that the leather surface remains clean and dry which prevents the growth of the bacteria. Do not forget that saddle leather is porous and therefore, it absorbs water and mud which can then cause bacterial growth. When you clean your saddle, make sure that you dry it well before using another product on the saddle. You can use saddle soap or saddle scrub to keep the leather soft and supple. You can also use a leather cleaner to make the leather shiny and new.
