Caring for Your Gear,
Protecting Our Planet
EcoRider tack is crafted from premium, eco-conscious leather. Because our leather is processed using natural, vegetable-tanned methods rather than harsh chemical chrome tanning, it retains its natural, breathable properties. Just like nature, premium leather needs the right nourishment to stay soft, strong, and beautiful for years to come. Proper care doesn’t just preserve your tack's performance—it’s the ultimate act of sustainability.
The Golden Rules of Eco-Leather Care
To ensure your EcoRider tack lasts a lifetime, follow these three simple steps:
Wipe Down After Every Ride
Use a damp (not wet) cloth to remove sweat, grease, and arena dust. Sweat and dirt can break down the natural fibers of the leather if left to sit.
Let It Dry Naturally
If you get caught in a downpour, never dry your leather near a direct heat source like a radiator or heater. This causes the leather to dry out, crack, and stiffen. Hang it in a well-ventilated space and let it dry naturally.
Condition with Care
Chemical-heavy oils can over-saturate and weaken eco-leather. Instead, use a natural, wax-based balsam to feed the leather from the inside out.
The Secret to Longevity: EcoRider Natural Leather Balsam
To keep your tack in peak condition, we developed the EcoRider Natural Leather Balsam. Formulated specifically to complement our eco-tanned leather, it provides deep nourishment without any harsh chemical synthetic additives.
Things to Avoid
Our vegetable-tanned EcoLeather is a live, organic structure. Applying harsh synthetic elements can damage its breathability and degrade its fiber strength.
