How are you guys do'n? I just tripped on a rock and found this website, looks very informational and helpfull, looks like you guys really know whats going on.. Anyways, I was looking for some background information on Shirley Brown saddles from San Antonio because an old cowboy gave it to me, its a wade style roping saddle and I haven't really heard much about them, another favor I would like to ask from you is on leather care. Now, this old cowboy was literally an oldschool cowboy, he's blind and can't ride anymore and left all his tack and saddles in a tin shed. The leather is dry as hell and stiffer then a corn cob. I've been dosing it with neatsfoot oil and working it back and forth with my hands to loosen up the leather, is that the best method? what else could I do to rejuvinate the leather? Alright well I lied, I thought of another question.. the saddle was on a 2x4 when I found it and it made the skirt real narrow, I don't think the tree was harmed, and I would like to round it back out, whats the best way to go about reshaping it?
I know these have probably been asked in the past but cut me some slack please
