Everyone asks about my Steele saddle!

I LOVE my saddle. Lucy and I have been riding everywhere we can get to!

Everywhere I go someone asks, “What kind of saddle are you riding in? It looks really comfy.”  Then of course I go into my sales pitch! Hope all is well there. – Grace H.

What kind of oil to use on a saddle?

One of our riders asked:

What brand of Neatsfoot Oil do you use on your saddle? Will it darken the leather?

Answer: 

As far as maintenance, any brand of real Neetsfoot oil will work. Just don’t get the compound. Most tractor supply stores will carry it. Only use real Neetsfoot oil, don’t use any cleaners or saddle soaps. Some of those products will pull the color out of the leather eventually. Never put anything on the seat leather except water or a dry cloth. A light coat will not darken your saddle, but a heavy coat will cause the saddle to darken slightly. Thank you and we wish all all many miles of good riding!

I love the comfort of my new Steele Saddle.

Hey Eric – I got a chance to try out my new saddle, I love it!  It’s really comfy.  Seems to fit Oro pretty well too. I can’t wait to really get a chance to break it in. Thanks again for all of your help with this.  It’s nice to still see quality craftsmanship in a product.

I was ready to quit and Steele saved my riding!

My husband had a Steele, and I was using a different popular saddle but I’d had several falls on riding trips. Mostly due to not having the best seat and being a senior, 68. He told me that I needed to get a Steele because of the deep seat. Well, after getting my own I am sold. I have a very secure seat now, better than I have had for many years. I love my saddle and they modified it a bit for my little Walking Horse’s back. She loves it! I hope to be able to ride now for many more years when I was almost ready to quit. I love my Steele saddle! Thank you so much for extending my riding years. – Rustee S.
