Well-maintained leather tack lasts decades. Neglected leather dries out, cracks, loses suppleness and eventually becomes unsafe. Regular cleaning and conditioning is not just about appearance, it is about protecting a significant investment and keeping your horse and rider safe. Ambassador offers a straightforward, practical leather care range designed to cover the two essential steps of leather maintenance: cleaning and conditioning. At The Vet Shed we stock both Ambassador leather care products at competitive prices with fast delivery across Australia.

Ambassador Glycerine Saddle Soap 250g - A glycerine-based saddle soap for cleaning leather tack. Glycerine is a time-tested leather cleaning agent that removes dirt, sweat, grease and grime from the surface of leather without stripping the natural oils or drying the hide. The mild formula lifts built-up residue from saddles, bridles, stirrup leathers, girths and other leather tack while leaving a slightly tacky, conditioned finish that helps leather grip and feel supple. Suitable for regular use as part of a cleaning routine before conditioning. Available in a practical 250g size.
Ambassador Dual Leather Care 500ml - A two-in-one leather care product that cleans and conditions in a single application, simplifying the tack care routine without sacrificing results. The dual action formula removes surface dirt while simultaneously replenishing moisture and flexibility in the leather, helping to prevent drying and cracking over time. The 500ml size is practical for regular use across a full set of tack. Suitable for saddles, bridles and other leather equestrian equipment.

Building a Leather Care Routine

For tack used regularly, a basic leather care routine involves removing surface sweat and dirt after each use, deeper cleaning with saddle soap periodically, and conditioning to keep the leather supple and protected. The Ambassador Glycerine Saddle Soap handles the cleaning step, removing accumulated sweat and grime that can degrade leather if left to build up. The Dual Leather Care product simplifies the process by combining both steps in one, making it a practical choice for those who want to maintain their tack efficiently without a lengthy routine after every ride.

Both products are suited to standard equestrian leather including saddles, bridles, reins, stirrup leathers and girths. For new or very dry leather, a dedicated conditioner applied generously after cleaning gives the best results. For well-maintained tack in regular use, the Dual Leather Care product alone covers most ongoing maintenance needs.

FAQs About Ambassador Leather Care

What is glycerine saddle soap and how does it work?

Glycerine saddle soap is a leather cleaning product that uses glycerine as its primary active agent. Glycerine is a gentle humectant that attracts and holds moisture, which means it cleans leather without stripping the natural oils that keep it supple. Applied with a damp sponge, it lifts sweat salts, dust, grease and surface grime from leather, leaving it clean and slightly conditioned. It is gentler on leather than harsher soaps or detergents that can cause drying and cracking over time.

What is the difference between the Saddle Soap and the Dual Leather Care?

The Ambassador Glycerine Saddle Soap is a dedicated cleaning product, used to remove dirt and sweat from leather as the first step in a two-step cleaning and conditioning routine. The Ambassador Dual Leather Care combines cleaning and conditioning in a single application, simplifying the process. If your tack is heavily soiled, using the saddle soap for a thorough clean followed by a conditioner will give the most thorough result. For regular maintenance of well-kept tack, the Dual Leather Care is a practical time-saving option.

How often should I clean and condition my leather tack?

For tack in regular daily use, wiping down with a slightly damp cloth after each ride removes surface sweat before it can dry and degrade the leather. A proper clean with saddle soap once or twice a week is a good baseline for frequently used saddles and bridles. Conditioning should follow cleaning and can be done weekly or fortnightly depending on the climate and how much the leather is used. In dry or hot conditions like much of Australia, leather can dry out faster and may benefit from more frequent conditioning.

Can I use Ambassador products on a new saddle?

Yes. Both products are suitable for use on new leather tack. New leather often benefits from a generous initial conditioning treatment to feed the hide and improve suppleness before regular use begins. The Dual Leather Care is a practical choice for breaking in new leather and maintaining it through regular use.

Can these products be used on bridles and reins as well as saddles?

Yes. Both the Glycerine Saddle Soap and Dual Leather Care are suitable for all standard equestrian leather including saddles, bridles, reins, stirrup leathers, girths and other leather accessories. Bridles and reins in particular accumulate sweat and bit residue quickly and benefit from regular cleaning to maintain their integrity and appearance.
