re: How do you take care of leather?

Leather new is a cheap and easy 1 step glycerin spray. I don't use it on my tack (I'm a little obsessive about that) but it is great for boots, etc.

Lexol conditioner can be found at Walmart in the car section and I use that on boots too. I hate the local cleaner, though.

For my saddle...

I love higher standards soap or even plain bar castille soap if it's really dirty. Then I've got some oakwood (I think, I got it on amazon) conditioner with tea tree and lanolin. Supposed to help with mildew too
