They often look so pretty you don't want to use them!
But, after a while, the colour fades leaving them looking...well, used!
I bought my dressage saddle second hand and the back especially was very faded, almost a greeny colour!
And my boots...I have worn them every single day for almost 3 years!
I decided to try Cherry Blossom Readywax Instant Shoe Shine Colour Enriching in Black.
It comes with a sponge on top, gently squeeze it and apply to saddle/boots - it dries within seconds too which is a bonus!
I applied one layer to the back of my saddle, let it dry and then applied another layer. I also applied two layers to the front of my knee rolls which were also faded.
I got a bit carried away and covered my boots in it - I am pleased to say it doesn't transfer and is waterproof!
(Unfortunately I got a bit carried away so didn't take a photo of my saddle before applying it, but believe me, as I said, it was a horrible greeny colour where it had got damp.)
As you can see my left boot looks almost new again!
Allow the first layer to dry before applying a second
The colour of the seat was the colour of the knee rolls/back of saddle before applying
This brand retails for as little as £1! And has given my boots and saddle a new lease of life!
Happy shining!
