Bates Leather cream replenishes and rejuvenates the moisture content in the leather. 

Suitable to use on all Bates and Arena Saddles

Leather is a natural product and as such any marks, scars or colour variations within the leather are not a fault and add to the individual character of your Bates saddle.

Proper care is crucial to maximising the performance of your Bates® saddle as its life is reliant on maintaining a certain level of moisture in the leather.

Moreover your saddle should be regularly cleaned, using a damp cloth or sponge to remove dirt

Cleaning should always be followed with a rich, wax-based dressing.

In conclusion we do not recommend the use of oil on your saddle.

Prior to riding in your new saddle, it is recommended that you liberally dress your saddle allowing it to soak in overnight.

The overnight process ensures maximum penetration into the leather, helping to seal in the moisture and protect your saddle.

Bates Leather Cream can also be used to replenish and rejuvenate the moisture content in your saddle.

However a leather balsam penetrates deeper into the leather and offers a surface barrier.

Most importantly this protects against wear, water and sweat.

Firstly apply your leather balsam or cream heavily in high wear areas, such as the top of the saddle flap where the stirrup leathers will rub.

Secondly you may apply your dressing to all areas of your saddle that are not suede, including the padded inserts and girth straps.

Treated in this manner, you will achieve the traditional, rich patina of aged worked leather and can expect years of excellent service from your saddle.
