The occasional April shower did not dampen the spirits at the NAF Five Star Winter Dressage Championships and Petplan Equine Winter Area Festival Championships held at Addington Equestrian, Buckinghamshire. With 44 national titles in contention, from Prelim to Inter I, including freestyles, it was a busy five days with over 1000 tests ridden across three arenas.
We were delighted to see many of our customers had qualified for this prestigious event and were in contention for many of the titles on offer.

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
Our handpicked product of the month for March is the 𝙎𝘾𝙎 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙢.
Leather is a perishable material, if it is not cleaned regularly and taken care off the life expectancy is greatly reduced. Colour loss and premature aging of stitching and leather are factors contributed to by lack of maintenance.
The leather used to make all Sue Carson Saddles products, from saddles to bridles and knee boots to webbers, needs to be carefully maintained to ensure it remains soft and supple for years to come. We recommend not to use substances which contain alcohol or detergents to clean your Sue Carson Saddles leather goods.
In order to keep leather products looking and feeling their best, Sue Carson Saddles have developed a natural leather cleaning balm, which comes with the assurance to increase the life expectancy of all new Sue Carson Saddles leather products.
About our Leather Balm
Sue Carson Saddles Natural Leather Balm is made in the UK using all natural ingredients including pure beeswax and essential oils, leaving your leather hydrated, protected and gleaming! The unique blend features a citronella scent which contributes as a fly repellent during summer months.
Lack of maintenance, damp conditions, sun damage, extreme temperature and sweat are the most common causes of leather becoming dry, cracked and discoloured which in turn reduce the longevity of any leather product. Daily cleaning and maintenance is highly recommended to enhance your products appearance, leaving it soft and supple for years to come.
For Best Results
For the best results we recommend wiping your leather product over with a tepid damp sponge to remove any hard dirt and sweat. Leave the leather to dry naturally and apply your Sue Carson Saddles Leather Balm sparingly with a dry sponge. For added shine buff with a clean cloth or soft brush.
Available in 60ml and 400ml tubs or as a Cleaning Kit featuring a 400ml tub.

Leather, just like your own skin needs caring for and feeding, especially in very cold and hot weather. Every possible care has been taken by Sue Carson Saddles to ensure consistency and quality. It is highly recommended to protect your leatherwear in between uses.
