Something beautiful is going to happen! I can’t wait to get started. Looks like I’ll have a project while I’m healing from surgery next week.

I’ve had a few people ask me lately if I sell saddles. I occasionally know of friends who have saddles for sale, and I do have a few project saddles that I’m working on that will be for sale when I’m done. But those of you looking for a pre owned saddle, make sure you’re checking the tree before you buy. Most issues on a used saddle can be repaired, but a broken tree is not one of them. Here’s a good video on how to check the tree.

Often we hear terms used by the pros and those in the know, but we may not feel comfortable asking what they mean. Tracking up is a term I heard for many years as a young person learning from different trainers, but didn’t want to look stupid and ask. And there was no Google at the time. 😆 Once I understood how my horse could benefit from moving more correctly, it changed how I viewed my riding and training. So, here you go! Enjoy your newfound knowledge and put it to good use. 😊

Boo! 👻 Time to clean that silver up! If you’ve got silver that looks like mine (this is mine btw 👇🏻), don’t give up on it. Send it over! I can’t perform miracles but I can definitely get it looking better than before.

This goes for bits, spurs, stirrups, almost any metal pieces. Don't replace until you've tried to fix it.

I just finished up this lovely Circle Y for a friend. It was bit dusty but it cleaned up nicely. She didn’t realize that the Blevins buckles were corroded, but we got those replaced and now she’s good to go. I even added a personal touch with some new handmade stirrup hobbles.

A quick but important PSA - check your tack regularly! This saddle has been sitting a while but before it goes back on a horse, it needs new Blevins buckles. Those are the buckles that keep your stirrups on - and keep you in the saddle. Look between the layers of leather and if you see corrosion, it’s time for a new set. They aren’t expensive to replace, so there’s no need to put this off. Contact me! #equinejunkie #tackrepair #westernsaddles

Here’s why I recommend a good deep cleaning twice a year. Take a close look and notice the dirt/grime/sweat that has accumulated in the recesses of the tooling on this saddle. The saddle is getting pretty dry and needs oil. But if you put oil on top of this grime, it turns the dirt into clay essentially, which is nearly impossible to remove. Removing it requires washing, scrubbing, rinsing, then washing again. It may take several washes and scrubs with toothbrushes and nail brushes to remove the buildup. Often, the dirt has to be picked out of every single line with a dental instrument or pick. Yes, this takes hours. Then the saddle must be dried. Not in the sun, it will darken the leather. It must be dried slowly in the shade under a fan with all the flaps propped up to provide the most air circulation possible. Only then should oil be added, with light applications, allowed to soak in before deciding if it needs more than one coat. Once the oil has been applied, then the saddle needs to be conditioned to keep the leather soft and supple, and help slow down the drying out of the leather. This process takes days. Most people I know, myself included, rarely have the time it takes to properly clean their tack. This is why I started Equine Ju**ie Tack Cleaning.

I thought I’d share this with all you DIYers (hey, I’m one of them so I can point this out). This is a photo of a saddle I’m currently working on. What you’re seeing here is mold. Even when we’ve done the MOST thorough job of cleaning and conditioning our saddle, mold, dirt and 🕷️ are still lurking up underneath the jockey and the back housing. This is why I always take the saddle apart as much as possible when doing a deep clean. An added bonus is that by cleaning, oiling, and conditioning the stirrup leathers and the stirrup bar, your saddle will squeak less and your stirrups will be easier to adjust. Contact me for thorough deep cleaning!

What a gorgeous older Billy Cook roper saddle! It has been handed down from generation to generation and well-loved. Thank you, Rebecca, for allowing me to clean it up and repair it for you. 😊
