I just bought a new, inexpensive saddle with fake silver on the corners and conchos. One person recommended that I put clear nail polish on the silver to keep it looking nice. What are your thoughts on this? Do any of you have other ideas for keeping the saddle silver shiny?

I clean tack(etc.) at my stable and it takes a LONG time to do a bridle! Any hints on this or other horse work jobs(ie; cleaning dirty bedding out of stalls)????? Much appreaciated! I’m cleaning the enitre bridles. ALSO how do i clean a GRand Prix bridle? thanks!

Is there a huge difference between leather conditioner and leather oils? Obviously the tack isn’t being ridden or worn it just needs to looks nice for showing(display) purposes.

What kind of things make horse tack leather more supple and less cracked? Is there any specific oils that would help? I just bought a saddle and the leather is really stiff. Is there anything I can do about it?
