A high-quality saddle or bridle is a valuable investment and often accompanies riders for many years. To preserve the natural beauty, suppleness, and functionality of these and other leather products, proper care is essential.
Leather is a natural material that is exposed to daily wear, horse sweat, dust, moisture, and changing weather conditions. With the right leather care products from Amerigo, leather can be effectively cleaned, nourished, and protected.
Important: These products are not intended to be used all at once. Each product has its own purpose and should be selected according to the condition of the leather and the desired care routine.
Why Regular Leather Care Matters
Properly maintained leather remains supple, durable, and visually appealing for much longer. Saddles and bridles in particular are subjected to heavy daily use. Sweat and dirt can affect the leather surface, while insufficient care may cause the leather to dry out over time.
Regular leather care helps to:
- Maintain the leather’s natural elasticity
- Prevent drying out and premature wear
- Extend the lifespan of your leather equipment
- Preserve the premium appearance and feel of the leather

Amerigo Lederöl – Intensive Pflege für tiefenwirksame Nährung
For more intensive leather care, Amerigo Leather Oil provides deep nourishment. This premium oil blend has been specially formulated for saddles and bridles, penetrating deep into the leather fibres.
It helps maintain the leather’s natural softness while improving its resistance to wear and changing weather conditions.
Amerigo Leather Oil is particularly recommended for treating new saddles before their first use, as well as for regular deep conditioning.
Amerigo Soft Grease – Protection and Care for Premium Leather
Amerigo Soft Grease has been specially developed for the care of high-quality Amerigo leather products. This rich leather cream protects the leather from external influences, preserves its natural softness, and supports its long-term durability.
In addition, Soft Grease improves the leather’s grip, making it particularly suitable for heavily used saddles and other leather riding equipment.
When applying, remember that less is more. Use only a small amount and spread it thinly and evenly so the leather retains its natural properties.
Recommended Deep Care Routine
In addition to regular cleaning and conditioning, premium saddles benefit from a more intensive treatment at longer intervals.
Depending on usage, we recommend the following careRemove dirt, dust, and sweat using Amerigo Soft Clean. Thorough cleaning prepares the leather for routine approximately every 3–4 months:
- Clean the Saddle with Amerigo Soft Clean
Remove dirt, dust, and sweat using Amerigo Soft Clean. Thorough cleaning prepares the leather for optimal absorption of the conditioning products.
- Apply Amerigo Leather Oil
Using a soft brush, apply a thin, even coat of leather oil. Allow sufficient time for the oil to penetrate deeply into the leather fibres.
- Apply Amerigo Soft Grease
Once the oil has been fully absorbed, apply a small amount of Amerigo Soft Grease using a lambswool mitt or soft applicator. The leather grease forms a protective conditioning layer, preserves suppleness, and helps maintain the saddle’s value over time.
