I am allergic to neatsfoot oil. Just wondering what alternatives there are that will do a decent job of oiling my saddles and tack? It looks like there are quite a few options. I tried oiling one saddle today and wore gloves… Once it’s dry I don’t have a problem, but I can’t say I clean my tack as often as I should due to the risk of hives. Makes me thankful most of my tack is of the synthetic variety.
Would Hydrophane be safe? I’ve never tried it. I do have one dressage saddle that is brown instead of black and it definitely could use some darkening.
Has anyone tried any of the following: Olive oil, Jojoba oil, coconut oil, Macadamia oil, or Almond oil?
