Leather Therapy® has changed the leather care category among the trade, consumers and leather care professionals world-wide

Carol LavellOlympic Medalist,riding Much Ado

The qualities of leather created by Nature and preserved by the tanner are superior to those of any man-made synthetic material.

Leather’s beauty, breathability, flexibility and strength make it possible to achieve leather articles coveted by people the world over.

Award winning Leather Therapy was initially developed to focus its energy on the interior corium, thereby working from the “inside-out” to maintain leather’s rare qualities. It has proven itself in the equestrian marketplace - where a person’s life can depend on the maintenance of leather equipment, boots, etc. - and was rated “best” leather care conditioner.

Wherever leather is important - from museum projects and Civil War originals to the U.S. Congress, Disney World or Motorsports Racing - Leather Therapy proves time and again its claim that Leather Therapy works hard, so you won’t have to.

“Leather Therapy was the clear winner. We liked its ease of penetration, complete absorption and the fact it didn’t change leather color. Plus, Leather Therapy’s promise of mildew resistance clearly puts it over the top.” Product of the Year 1997The Horse Journal (a testing magazine)

Mold & mildew love moisture and is a relentless enemy of leather. Harsh chemicals that control mold and mildew can further strip natural oils from leather and should be avoided. Leather Therapy’s spore inhibitors are Earth Friendly and protect leather from this natural enemy.

In 2000 - Leather Therapy was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency as a mold & mildew inhibitor in a leather conditioning formula. It is considered a “stand alone” product in its category.

Leather Therapy is NOT a leather cosmetic that sits on the surface of leather but rather a hard working formula which effectively gets absorbed into the interior corium of leather.

Independent testing conducted for a major US tannery by the Leather Industries Research Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati showed that “when tested (with controls) on the Instron, Leather Therapy increased the tensile strength of skirting leather 36% -- from 3600 lbs/sq.inch to 4900 lbs/sq.inch.”

To maintain your investment and insure the safety and comfort of both horse and rider, an experienced equestrian knows that tack demands proper maintenance so that even with rugged use, leather will last a lifetime without showing signs of wear and tear. To retain the beauty of leather and its other unique qualities requires replacing the natural lubricants lost during normal use.

Until now, most leather care products fell short. Soaps and some topical preparations may be alkaline (pH above 7) and can break down leather fiber. Soaps can leave behind a soap scum or residue while some treatments darken leather or migrate, creating greasy spots that encourage mold and mildew problems. Others are unable to lubricate the corium of leather, the interior matrix that provides vital cushioning, flexibility and where leather works hardest.

“I’ve used many products to help speed the softening process on leathers. I want the highest comfort level possible - from the beginning. Leather Therapy is the best I’ve ever used to shorten the break-in period and to almost instantly supple leather.”

Brock Lynch Saddles Co.

LEATHER THERAPY WATER REPELLANTWhen there’s a need to guard leather from salt, water and the elements, use this long-lasting leather protectant. A versatile, spray-on application applied to clean, dry leather, shields smooth or suede leathers on your shoes and tack. If Leather Therapy Finish is to be used on smooth leather, Water Repellant should be applied first. Re-apply a light spray coat when leather shows signs of water absorption.

LEATHER THERAPY FINISHA professional NO-WAX product used to enhance and beautify smooth leather items with a protective, flexible luster and shine. Use when the presentation of your tack and boots are important in the show ring – or for that display saddle in your living room. Not color-specific.

Start With Clean LeatherSimply oiling tack is never good enough. Horse tack should be cleaned after each use because dirt and horse sweat mingle to create greasy grunge. This mix is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold to begin the process of destroying leather and weakening stitching. Ignoring this important cleaning step can lead to torn straps and can also transfer bacteria back to your horse causing irritating skin problems.

Keep Leather Well Maintained and NourishedWithout care, the elements and time will oxidize the lubricants that keep leather supple. Then, as leather is used, the dry fibers rub against each other creating friction, causing the fibers to break, split or crack.

With Leather Therapy products, leather will regain a healthy look and feel. After applying LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER, within a few hours, even the driest, hardest leathers will be noticeably more supple and, therefore, less likely to weaken or split.

For Initial Treatment or Restoration: Apply LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER to clean leather and allow to dry. Leather will absorb what it needs to restore suppleness. Drying time and number of applications will vary depending on thickness and dryness of leather. Because of the emulsifying effects of LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER, you may notice residue coming to the surface. This is the deeply imbedded grime of old saddle soaps or oils. Simply wipe away with a damp sponge or lint-free cloth. LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER will provide the necessary lubrication and protection.

For On-Going Maintenance: To keep leather in great shape, clean with WASH and, when necessary, use a lightly dampened sponge to apply a small amount of LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER. The rich blend of replenishing oils in LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER go a long way. Use sparingly for best results.

Always Protect Leather From Mold, Mildew and The ElementsMold and mildew loves moisture and is a relentless enemy of leather. A hide is full of good food, such as protein, humectants and sugars. Add a moist environment and high temperatures, and leather becomes ripe for an invasion of damaging spores. Harsh chemicals may control spores but will ultimately weaken leather. LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER is the perfect answer to protect leather from mold and mildew while conditioning with its award winning formula.
