I have a new saddle and I wasnt paying attention when I bought it, but it turns out its an open grained leather (also know as nubuck).
Well in terms of care, what a pain in the ass! Special products required, none of which are sold at my local tack or shoe shops, scratches really easy (stirrups are making a mess of it already!)
So Im thinking - it I were to use just a normal leather care product whats the worst that would happen? Im not fussed in the slightest if it goes a bit darker or a bit shinier I just dont want to totally 'wreck' the leather. I do however want it to be able to be cleaned, be a bit waterproof, durable and protect it a little.
So, if I were to use something like the oft recommended kho-cho-line, would it matter?
