May 12, 2006, Newsletter Issue #175: Blondes are Hard to Maintain!
Tip of the Week
When it comes to Western horse show supplies, blonde is all of the rage. If you go to any Western horse show today, you will notice that blonde is abundant.
Blonde is becoming one of the most popular hues in show saddles. They are neutral, blending nicely with most tack and rider attire. Additionally, blond saddles give off a certain air of sophistication. While blonde is fast becoming the most popular shade in show saddles, they can be tricky to upkeep. It takes great care to preserve the look and condition of light-colored tack. Are you up for the challenge? Ask yourself that question before investing in blonde tack.
Keep in mind that any type of cleaning or conditioning will alter the appearance of a blonde saddle, making it increasingly darker in hue. If possible, you should only condition your show saddle a few times a year—at most. If you go crazy with the cleaning regimen, you’ll end up with a dark saddle.
