What does this mean about saddle?
I ume what you bought are tack wipes, if not, throw them away! If they are tack wipes, please be careful, as these tend to dry out your leather. I personally like Lexol (spelling?) saddle soap. It comes in an orange spray bottle and you can get it pretty much anywhere. I think it cleans nicely. The most important thing with brand new saddles is to make sure you condition it regularly, so that the leather is broken in appropriately. I would not recommend using Neatsfoot Oil to do this, as it can eat away the stitching, but Stuuben makes a great leather conditioner. If you only use soap, the leather will dry out and crack and your saddle will be worthless. Hope this helps!
