✨ New Saddle Awareness – Some thoughts from the NS ✨ New Saddle Awareness – Some thoughts from the NSC Office The leather in your saddle needs time and care to soften, and the wool-flocked panel time to perfectly mold to your horse. This can only be done by riding, cleaning and conditioning. Your new saddle may well change your posture, riding position and where you apply your aids. The way your horse carries itself, (even more noticeable if your previous saddle did not fit well), is also affected. Over the course of the first few weeks, (we estimate about 20 hours of riding), the saddle should start to feel really comfortable and familiar to both horse and rider. It is not unusual to notice the horse going differently at the beginning of this process, and those with very sensitive horses, like people with very sensitive feet, should take this period slowly. How many times have you worn new shoes excessively the first time? You may end up with a blister and some discomfort, yet these same shoes often become the most comfortable pair you own! We advise you to ride initially for shorter periods: 15–30 minutes in a training environment — not in a competition, hunting or trekking environment. In the vast majority of cases a reaction is nothing more than ‘new shoe syndrome’ and very transitory. Remember that your saddle fitter will have advised you on size and width as well as type of tree based on experience and qualification, and also that he/she will be aware of how much ‘give’ there is likely to be in a brand-new saddle. Like the new pair of boots designed to take hard wear, your new saddle will feel quite snug on your horse. If the saddle is fitted too loosely in the first instance, then this will lead to excessive movement, torsion and eventual loss of stability after only a short period of use. #lovemynsc #newsaddleawareness #newsaddle

❓⭐ So what are humectants, and why do they make ou ❓⭐ So what are humectants, and why do they make our NSC Leather & Saddle Soap not your average soap? And even more importantly, why is this an important pre-cursor to conditioning products?

Well, our NSC Leather & Saddle Soap is the pre-conditioning superhero. It not only cleans, but also works its magic to prevent your leather from turning into a shadow of its former gorgeous self. It keeps it soft and supple, ready for your choice of NSC conditioning product. Our leather soap is carefully crafted with a mix of beeswax, lanolin and the purest tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils. It's got that Goldilocks pH – it's juuuust right. So it's not just about cleaning, it's about giving your leather some much-needed TLC. Shop it here: https://www.nsc.co.nz/shop/ #nscleatherandsaddlesoap #nscleathercare
