Overview

Who says cleaning tack has to be work? The Higher Standards Saddle Soap-Woody's Confidence Blend makes cleaning enjoyable! Named after Karen O’Connor’s mount, Upstage, or "Woody", this soap represents "the little horse that could". Higher Standards leather care has just that- higher standards! These handcrafted saddle soaps are made with essential oils, and the unique scent has a refreshing, calming effect. This soap can bring life back to your leather, whether it is boots, bridles, saddles or anything else! 

Originally formulated as gifts for her close friends and family, it didn't take long before Higher Standards Saddle Soap was being used at the Pan Ams, the World Equestrian Games, the Hong Kong and London Olympics, Rolex, Badminton, and Burghley. Now this is available to the public in many scents, all named after some very special event horses.

Product Details

Directions: Sponge should be wet thoroughly but not dripping. Wipe over soap in container, wipe tack (or scrub, depending on how dirty it is!) and wipe off any visible suds or residue with the same damp sponge (if one side is too loaded up with soap, flip it to the other side to remove residue from tack). Let dry and, if needed, follow with our conditioning balm. Since our soap is a conditioning soap, if you use it after every ride, you should not need to use an additional conditioner as frequently. If your tack is very dirty, old or just dry, we recommend following cleaning with a light coat of our conditioner. Soap designed for daily use. Contains glycerin, fats and essential oils.

Amazing scentThis was backordered for a while, so I considered cancelling my order. Now it has finally arrived, and I'm glad I kept it. This smells so good, is easy to use, and cleans nicely with no yucky residue. I haven't had it long enough for any long term evaluation, but this is the first leather cleaner I actually enjoy using.

Lovely soap, but sponge damageThis soap works well and smells lovely. Unfortunately, the sponge was deeply embedded in the soap and I had to dig it out. This ruined the sponge and wasted about 25% of the soap. It's pricey soap so I didn't appreciate this loss. That being said, if you receive soap and sponge the way it was intended then you'll have the perfect product for leather cleaning.

Comments: BEST LEATHER CLEANER EVER!!!! I have tried countless different brands (Passier, Horseman's 1-step, glycerine bars, voltaire, fiebing's, sterling essentials, effax, I'm talking pretty much every brand under the sun) and higher standards is the best I've ever used. Although the sterling essentials is a close second, nothing cleans your tack while giving it a nice conditioning in one step like higher standards. I don't like the super goopy, oily conditioners, because they make my tack sticky and collect dust, and higher standards doesn't do this while still providing the best conditioning possible. All the other brands that I have tried that condition the way I like require two products, a cleaner and conditioner, and this soap is cheaper and does a much better job. Plus, it smells AMAZING! I love the Woody's scent, it isn't overpowering but still smells so good. I can't say enough good things about this leather cleaner. 5 stars!!

Comments: I love this leather cleaner! It seems to melt to the dirt away with minimal scrubbing, and it really does condition the leather as well. It has a very pleasant scent and it doesn't leave a film on the leather or your fingers like some other cleaners do. One tub will last you a long time too! It is by far my favorite saddle soap.

Comments: I have been using this saddle soap now for about two weeks and like it even better than the Passier Leather Saddle Soap which was my absolute favorite (see recent review). It is so easy to achieve clean after each sweaty ride and leaves the leather in a super supple state. Don't have time to clean up right after riding? No problem, it cuts through dried sweat and dirt like it was fresh. It smells wonderful too! I am enjoying it so much I just ordered the Higher Standards Leather Balm.
