How did you feel about the more chill feel of this video I wanted to just sit down, and chat with you all? Thoughts? :) If you are NOT a fan of my little rants and stories feel free to give this video a big thumbss up hahaha ;)
MyEquineAddiction Vetrolin spray is good! Vetrolin products are great for natural shine they also make linaments and shampoos for horses i love their products!!!!!
Beautiful saddle, so glad your someone who fits their saddle to their horse. So many people buy a saddle that fits the rider but is to tight on the horse and destroys their back completely and then wonder why they don't perform. You're setting a great example well done :)
I love these types of videos because it gives me a good idea as to what to buy as I have no clue which product/brand to purchase but after watching this I am going straight to my local tack store and picking up some of these items xx 💖
I'm so happy that you didn't get hurt when you fell, you are such a great person and I would honestly cry if you got hurt☺️ you both are my riding inspiration and love you guys so much
I'm really picky with tack cleaner too! I love effax ledar combi! It's Amazing and after I use the effax ledar basalm. It's AMAZING! It leaves your saddle soft and sticky so it's awesome for no stirrup work! Also I love leather new, Lexol cleaner and conditioner, and even glycerine bars or fiebings saddle soap! But if your trying to bring tack back to life I would recommend oiling it with neadsfoot oil! It's awesome!
I have to say that is one of the most beautiful saddles I've ever seen, it was worth the wait. You chose wonderful colors on it and a beautiful girth as well. I ride in a treeless saddle that is shaped very much like an english saddle and is Havana in color, it is also very rare and beautiful. I just wanted to applaud you on your saddle choice. Great shopping, well done!
I work in a tack shop and I hear Effol superstar shine is a great alternative to show sheen. It doesn't give the artificial feel helps give the mane and tail more volume and helps with dry split ends!
For a good leather conditioner check out Skidmores leather cream. It smells fantastic! Honey overtones if that makes sence. Dosent leave a residue and will quite litterly kill calluses on your hands when used every day! I actually use it for hand cream when my hands are dry. Its Lanolin and beeswax based with a couple of other ingredients As for the showsheen I avoid it as it tends to dry the coat out. I prefer a good coat of conditioner after a bath. And if nessassary I will use lazer sheen. Showsheen is silicone based where as laser sheen is more lanolin based. The lanolin actually conditions the hair unlike the silicone which drys the hair.
Best way I've found to get a shiny coat is down to feed (a good oil like flax oil) and a tea towel! Honestly, after you've groomed, just before you get on for a show just buff with a towel and it makes them mega shiny! Cheap too! 😊
for tack cleaning, I LOVE olive oil. it's cheap and it revives leather really well! you oil it with that, then use a basic leather balm like effol and buff it. try it! find the most organic oil you can
The tack cleaner that works the best for me is Leather new. It is amazing, it gets off all the dirt and stuff but it also makes tack really shiny and looks new. Its not that expensive either, it depends on where your buying it but where I got it was only like 8 bucks. I totally recommend it!
I adore the Eqyss marigold spray for shine. All natural(and my extremely sensitive horse has no issues with it!!) smells AMAZING, and gets that beautiful shine and softness without feeling slippery. Showsheen is actually a liquid plastic, and I only use it in his tail (due to allergies) very rarely to get it detangled.
Im not too sure if you can get it where you are, but i used the Hydrophane leather and saddle soap at college and so far that was the best leather cleaner ive used!
if you dont like the feel maybe try alcohol, i put it in a spray bottle and use it on my horses all the time! it dose't really have any benefit to the coat but it takes up all of the dust and makes them really shiny without that weird feeling! you can use it on the saddle area also!
All the effax products for tack cleaning!! Never going back after using them. The leder balsam is honestly amazing and it smells like honey because its made from beeswax. Also, flax is really really good for their coats :)
Use EFFAX leather cream soap its the BEST! It doesn't leave any residue or streaks. It also helps moisturize and condition your tack. Its pretty much saddle soap and conditioner all in one and doesn't use any water! I swear by it!
Leaderbalsam from effax bring life back to your tack!! You don't need a lot of it because it's so good, but for "cleaning cleaning" leather new is easy and pretty good. Idk if they have them in Canada??
To get natural looking shine use gel Cowboy Magic on the mane and tail and a little bit of baby oil on the body. I also spray on water and then brush over that, the water lifts up all the dust and then you flick it off with the brush, when that underlayer of dust is gone, your horse look 100% shinier. It's really helpful
Fiebings saddle soap works really well. I had a old western saddle that I had found that looked like it had not been cleaned in years and after I used the soap the leather looked new. You should give it a try
So this is super late, but fyi Fiebing's (i think that's how its spelled?) saddle soap is super cheap and cleans really well. I think it's also a conditioner, but i tend to use another cream conditioner afterwards because it is a soapy consistency.
Effax Leather Cream soap to clean and Passier Lederbalsam to condition. Honestly, it's the very best for European saddles. They're clean and clear and won't stain your breeches. Plus the Passier helps ALOT if your saddle is slippery. Apply a nice layer, leave on overnight and voila!
You need to try Absorbine Santa Fe! It's a coat conditioner with vitamin E and SPF 8. It always keeps my horse super clean, soft and shiny! I use it all over on her and never have problems with the saddle area!
leather new from tractor supply or any feed store works well it is a spray and after you wipe ur tack with it you go over it with a damp rag and then use a dry cloth to dry it
I know this is so soooooo late but there is an item called saddle soap which you can find at tractor supply and other feed places that cleans leather so well and it also conditions. I cleaned two saddles with it and i still have plenty left. If you haven"t already found anything I hope this helps!
Try leather new by farnam Its a great cleaner! I used it on my boots that had scuff on them amd were old looking and it made them look pretty much brand new! I love using it on my saddles and bridles. The best cleaner i have ever used yet.
If your still having problems with bite marks try a fly sheet with a neck cover. It keeps them cool enough, but they're definitely morse durable than a slinky.
Hey, I love your videos so much! I have a question though, what camera do you use and what do you use for audio? Do you use the in camera audio? Thank you so much, and keep riding!
I find that my favourite leather cleaner is Effax Lederbalsam; it's a greasy consistency, but it makes the leather supple and gives it a healthy look to it. Doesn't smell fantastic though.
Vetrolin conditioner spray is pretty decent. It's not really expensive and you can use it on their mane tail and body. It gives them like a natural shine. It's a detangler also.
the ecogold saddle pad looks very bulky... doesn't adding a half pad over top of that make the saddle fit different? And i'm hoping that my school board doesn't go on strike... I want school to be over with! :P
OMG, my mare did the SAME thing to her scrim/slinky I got her to save her from the bugs outside. One night and totally shredded. **rolls eyes** Good luck finding something to work for Ralph! lol
my favorite tack stuff is the Effax brand stuff. its kind of expensive but it lasts for a while & is super effective :-) also I really like using the Eqyss Marigold (or avocado) spray in place of show sheen (it's also a little expensive though)
Feed flaxseed oil to make their coat shiny..its cheap..like $20 a gallon will help them hold weight and has alot of omegas and will make their coat naturally shiny so you wont need stuff like show sheen...
I use some mink oil I think it's called I got it from a tractor supply it's like a leather balm it makes your tack water proof and so soft it's also good to soften leather and I used it on my boots and it makes them look brad new.
I love your videos, your horses, and you guys!!! Where do you live in Ontario?? I live there too and my school might go on strike. Anyways, love you guys and your videos so much!!!
Try Ecolicious They're an all natural brand and they have a website where you can order a ton of different products (fly spray, coat tonic, hoof products, and a ton more) I also live in ontario and I get my Ecolicious at local tack shops most of the time.
Hey maybe you should by a flag rug with a hood. It is what I put on my horses and it keeps them cool in summer and protects there neck. Just thought it would be a good idea. Love your videos by the way :)
How did you feel about the more chill feel of this video I wanted to just sit down, and chat with you all? Thoughts? :) If you are NOT a fan of my little rants and stories feel free to give this video a big thumbss up hahaha ;)

I'm so happy that you didn't get hurt when you fell, you are such a great person and I would honestly cry if you got hurt☺️ you both are my riding inspiration and love you guys so much
For a non-synthetic feeling coat shine, get some shine spray for human hair. It's really inexpensive and works amazingly!
I'm really picky with tack cleaner too! I love effax ledar combi! It's Amazing and after I use the effax ledar basalm. It's AMAZING! It leaves your saddle soft and sticky so it's awesome for no stirrup work! Also I love leather new, Lexol cleaner and conditioner, and even glycerine bars or fiebings saddle soap!

eqyss marigold spray gives a natural smooth shine but u can put it were the saddle goes and your saddle won't slip

My favorite tack cleaner is Black Rock. it is so good and never leaves film or streaks or anything like that. I love it.
My favorite leather cleaning stuff are the Stübben Glyzerin-Lederseife and the Stübben Hamanol. It makes your leather looks like new 😍
I have those pads! Your so right! So worth the money!
Im not too sure if you can get it where you are, but i used the Hydrophane leather and saddle soap at college and so far that was the best leather cleaner ive used!
I am loving the Ontario weather too and my pony as well
if you dont like the feel maybe try alcohol, i put it in a spray bottle and use it on my horses all the time! it dose't really have any benefit to the coat but it takes up all of the dust and makes them really shiny without that weird feeling! you can use it on the saddle area also!
+Alissa Ricapito if they have a cut it will sting and make them uncomfortable and not want to do very good. at a show this would be especially bad!
All the effax products for tack cleaning!! Never going back after using them. The leder balsam is honestly amazing and it smells like honey because its made from beeswax. Also, flax is really really good for their coats :)
I loved the chillness (? is that a word? LOL) of the vid. I was wondering how much is your bored at your barn?
This is my first ever time watching you, and I'm glad to say I subbed and liked.
Great video, I can't wait for more! :D
"Many more videos to come" I really wish😖😞❤️
Reese Olivia Simpson before I watched this I was watching your new tack haul 😂😂 I wish many more videos to come too! I miss this channel!
I loved how you were petting your half pad while talking about it😂
Great video Lauren! I definitely need to get some Ecogold pads soon!
Use EFFAX leather cream soap its the BEST! It doesn't leave any residue or streaks.
It also helps moisturize and condition your tack. Its pretty much saddle soap and conditioner all in one and doesn't use any water! I swear by it!
I live by Effax leather cleanser! Keeps the leather soft and supple and adds a nice shine, without leaving any residue like some others I've tried.
Leaderbalsam from effax bring life back to your tack!! You don't need a lot of it because it's so good, but for "cleaning cleaning" leather new is easy and pretty good. Idk if they have them in Canada??

I recently discovered that Mya is the model for the vine thing on the App Store
Omg she is!!! AHHH *fangirl*
Effax Leather Cream soap to clean and Passier Lederbalsam to condition. Honestly, it's the very best for European saddles. They're clean and clear and won't stain your breeches. Plus the Passier helps ALOT if your saddle is slippery. Apply a nice layer, leave on overnight and voila!

For leather cleaner I really like the effax leather baslm or I just use leather oil (I have even heard that plain canola oil works just as well)
leather new from tractor supply or any feed store works well it is a spray and after you wipe ur tack with it you go over it with a damp rag and then use a dry cloth to dry it
I know this is so soooooo late but there is an item called saddle soap which you can find at tractor supply and other feed places that cleans leather so well and it also conditions. I cleaned two saddles with it and i still have plenty left. If you haven"t already found anything I hope this helps!
AWESOME haul, Lauren! LOVE your saddle!
Leather New is awesome!! I prefer the spray horsemans onestep, I think it works better so that may be another thing you could try.
You both should do a room tour video! It's something different but I think everyone would enjoy it:) I love your videos!!
I use Effax for conditioning my expensive tack and it is amazing. You can get it at Dover and they also make a whole Effax cleaning kit.
Try leather new by farnam
Its a great cleaner! I used it on my boots that had scuff on them amd were old looking and it made them look pretty much brand new! I love using it on my saddles and bridles. The best cleaner i have ever used yet.
Loved this video! Congrats on finally finding the right saddle!
I thought it was great!!!!! And I love your little rants and stories!!!!!! 😄😃🐎🐎🐎🐎🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
I use Belvoir tack cleaner and conditioner, it's cleans my tack really well and doesn't create any problems for me. ☺️
I recommend for the tack cleaner "Effax Leather Cream Soap" and the leather cleaner wipes. You can purchase all of this at Dover.
My favorite tack cleaner is Leather New spray. If you use it every time you ride you won't need conditioner because it gets nice and supple.
If your still having problems with bite marks try a fly sheet with a neck cover. It keeps them cool enough, but they're definitely morse durable than a slinky.
Hey, I love your videos so much! I have a question though, what camera do you use and what do you use for audio? Do you use the in camera audio? Thank you so much, and keep riding!
I find that my favourite leather cleaner is Effax Lederbalsam; it's a greasy consistency, but it makes the leather supple and gives it a healthy look to it. Doesn't smell fantastic though.
i absolutely LOVE the Passier Leaderbalsam! definitely try it out!
Kool coats for the horse are great especially on the summer! I have one for my horse and it has no rips at all and I've had it for 2 years now
The French link totally changed my horse! He had his head sky high and dropped it completely with that bit!
Vetrolin conditioner spray is pretty decent. It's not really expensive and you can use it on their mane tail and body. It gives them like a natural shine. It's a detangler also.
Great video Lauren :) Can't wait to see the next show vlog!
i love you guys so much, favourite youtube channel ever!
the ecogold saddle pad looks very bulky... doesn't adding a half pad over top of that make the saddle fit different?
And i'm hoping that my school board doesn't go on strike... I want school to be over with! :P
OMG, my mare did the SAME thing to her scrim/slinky I got her to save her from the bugs outside. One night and totally shredded. **rolls eyes** Good luck finding something to work for Ralph! lol
I recommend using leather CPR. It works wonders on my tack. It fairly cheap too.
Can You do video about Real costs of owning a horse? :)
if you use a spray on johnsons baby oil it works wonders, its best to spray it on a sponge and then put it wherever
What is your saddle called? Where did you get it? & Did you get it for past $1,000?
also, PLEASE tell me where you get your money from!?!
I have the Horse Mans one step leather cleaner and conditioner I think it works really well. What about you.
aw I love your videos ♥ where did you get your sweater? it's so cute!
I really love my leather CPR cleaner, it's amazing! I also really like effax lederbalsalm for conditioning or golden mink oil (it's like a wax)
Leather CPR is my favorite cleaner/conditioner
This video is so cool all your videos are awesome!!!! 😘🐴
I definitely recommend the Passier leather cleaner collection!!
my favorite tack stuff is the Effax brand stuff. its kind of expensive but it lasts for a while & is super effective :-) also I really like using the Eqyss Marigold (or avocado) spray in place of show sheen (it's also a little expensive though)
Lincoln make a really good tack cleaner it lasted me so long! Loved this video:)
Oakwood is the kind of leather cleaner I have. I love it so much and it polishes it a lot.
Feed flaxseed oil to make their coat shiny..its cheap..like $20 a gallon will help them hold weight and has alot of omegas and will make their coat naturally shiny so you wont need stuff like show sheen...
Use Belvoir!!! like anything from them is amazing!!!
equipe makes an amazing line of tack cleaning stuff. Can only get it through Holly Barnett but totally worth it.
Oak wood tack shampoo and conditioner is what I use and i love it!!
I use some mink oil I think it's called I got it from a tractor supply it's like a leather balm it makes your tack water proof and so soft it's also good to soften leather and I used it on my boots and it makes them look brad new.
Baby oil and water half and half mixture:) it works really well and if you get the aloe Vera baby oil it help condition their coat:)
You may already know this, but Show Sheen I'm pretty sure is silicone based so thats why it feels synthetic.
I like the oakwood line but I use the leather conditioner the most and the fiebings saddle soap :)
hahahahah Lauren your slinky!!! thats hilarious.
Eqyss marigold spray is awesome for conditioning and coat shine! It is also natural and not as slick as showsheen.
saddle soap. saddle soap is super cheap and works AMAZING on all of my tack! hope this helped
Cut and heal sprays brings your horses natural shine out on their coat, and has many benefits!!!
I love your videos, your horses, and you guys!!! Where do you live in Ontario?? I live there too and my school might go on strike. Anyways, love you guys and your videos so much!!!
Also, I prefer the Mane n Tail Shine On spray over Show Sheen! I think it works better and its a little cheaper too.
Do you know if your giveaway will be international? Btw amazing video! 😘
Try Ecolicious
They're an all natural brand and they have a website where you can order a ton of different products (fly spray, coat tonic, hoof products, and a ton more)
I also live in ontario and I get my Ecolicious at local tack shops most of the time.
Leather new is defiantly my favorite!
But its a spray, idk about you but i know people who hate sprays!
Ivanna Limongi im pretty sure leather new also makes wipes and the wipes brought my 10 year old field boots back to show condition!
I use Leather New to
I use leather new foam and I LOOOOVVEEEEEE IT
I also use Leather New, it's my FAVORITE!
Leather new is the best.
Leather CPR is my favorite tack cleaner!!
Did you get your saddle from running fox?
I should be asleep but my phone buzzed and when i saw why, i mean how could i put my phone down!
Just get some saddle soap and seperate conditioner. If you clean your tack with both every time you ride it becomes nice and shiny
Skidmore's Leather Cream.. I get mine imported from the states. Love it
Leather New is the BEST leather cleaner and conditioner ever!!
Leader balsm (i think i spelled it right it has a brown container) is my favorite! Great quality
did you get your saddle used and if so where?
Please vlog again, love your videos!! Xxx
Ya with the horsemans onestep your not supposed to use too much at once because with it a little goes a long way
Hey maybe you should by a flag rug with a hood. It is what I put on my horses and it keeps them cool in summer and protects there neck. Just thought it would be a good idea. Love your videos by the way :)
