The down side to living here is that we are learning all kinds of lessons the hard way. So, tonight we went to go riding, and we get into the horse trailer to get our saddles, and all of them are covered in mold! I'm sure that it didn't help that we put them away wet from our ride at Percy Park. (In Vegas, they would have dried right away). Then with all of the rain and moisture here. It is perfect breeding grounds there in the warm, dark horse trailer.
We have been told that it is a good sign when mold grows on your leather - it means that the leather is of good quality, but it is still disgusting and gross. So, no riding tonight. Let the cleaning begin.
It is growing on all of our saddles....in every nook and cranny.....every stitch.
I got my saddle cleaned up, and set it in the sun to let it get good and dry.
My spurs even had it. Ewwwww.....
Bart's chaps had it, as well as the headstalls. Look how green this one is! It's gonna be a tedious job, and we are just getting started. I didn't realize how much tack we had until we had to clean it. So, we will get started, and will probably finish in a few days.
