Leather goods:
Leather is a natural product. Scars, dark pigmented spots, roughness, unevenness or variations in colour, especially bleaching from sunlight, are all possible and considered normal due to environmental influences, and are not covered by warranty. Please note: Naturally tanned, open pored leather can initially lose some colour. We therefore recommend not to use light-coloured riding wear for the first uses.
Leather can change with use. That’s why we recommend checking if all leather is intact before every ride, also all seams and metal parts, especially at the billets and stirrup attachment. Do not use saddle if any damages are found!
Care of your saddle:
The saddle models “Cheyenne”, “Lexington”, “Cherokee”, “Nevada”, “Barrydale”, “Arizona” and “Atlanta” are made of Nubuck leather, the Barefoot “London” is made from soft leather. Nubuck leather has the grain layer partly sanded off; this makes it softer and gives it its characteristic velvety feel, reminiscent of peach skin. Soft leather has a smooth, soft surface; it is especially pliable and very comfortable to sit on. Both kinds of leather feature a soft, pleasant feel and a gentle grip. This suppleness allows the saddle to adjust perfectly to the horse’s back whilst providing good stability, comfort and long-lasting quality.
To take care of Nubuck and soft leather please do not use any oils or wax as they may clog the pores of these leathers.
Please bear in mind that solvent-based cleaners may damage the vegetable tanning. We recommend testing leather care products in an inconspicuous spot. We cannot accept any liability for the consequences of improper handling.

Care of Asseccories:
All leather accessories can also be cleaned and protected with the Barefoot Leather Cleaner and the Leather Care Cream.
All our leather goods are quality tested and treated with a leather protection product before being shipped out.
We recommend you to re-impregnate all leather goods with a conventional agent (e.g. for shoes), especially before riding in the rain.
Care of Barefoot DryTex™ products:
The DryTex™ material can easily be
cleaned with a damp sponge. In case of excessive dirt, use a drop of
rinsing agent. Slight abrasions of the DryTex Material are possible – if
this is of concern, please choose a saddle made from leather.
Care for Barefoot Saddlepads:
Our saddlepads can be washed in the machine at 30 ° C. The inlays can remain within the pads for washing. If the Physiopad is just slightly dirty, simply wipe it off with a wet sponge and a mild detergent to remove dust, debris and hair. The fur lining can be brushed with a smooth brush in order to loosen up bonded strands of hair.
Have fun with your new Barefoot product!
