I just ran out of the bottle of Antares leather oil that I have been slowly working through for… well, about 15 years. Good stuff. My bridle prefers oil to a conditioning cream or balsam. Before I buy more of the same, anyone have a favorite product I should try?
The obvious answer is plain neatsfoot, but I’ve replaced some parts on this bridle over the years and I’ve finally gotten them all the same color, so I’m looking for a non-darkening product.
I use Bickmore 1 and then Bick 4 to condition. I use it on my western saddle that isn’t super light but, like you, it matches my bridle so I don’t want to darken it if I don’t have to!
I have the Prestige oil. I bought it originally because my Prestige girth was lighter than my saddle, and the Prestige rep suggested I try the oil to darken it. It hasn’t darkened it at all 
Since then, I’ve also used it on a couple bridles.
As a bonus, it smells great - like vanilla cake.
I’m bumping this thread because I have the same question!
