Ways to clean a saddle?
The best old fashioned way to clean a saddle is to wet down a wash cloth or clean rag and wash off all the dirt and grime. Once the leather is dry, the go over the saddle with a product like Murphy's oil soap to get all the ground-in debris. Once you have the saddle all cleaned, it's important to oil the leather again so that it will repel water and be flexible. Neatsfoot oil is the tried and true oil of experience. A couple of applications of oil will keep the leather supple and strong for many, many years. As for the bottom or underside of the saddle, a good stiff brushing will get most of what occurs there. If that doesn't work, you may have to wet it, but if you do, make sure you dry it thoroughly also. DO NOT immerse a saddle if you don't know what the saddle tree is made of. You might warp or split the saddle tree if it is made of wood.

Does bona Allen have a number 50111 saddle?
I just came into possession of a saddle with the 50111 number on a leather tag attached to the left front leather rosette. Like you, I suspect it is a Bona Allen, but with no makers mark it is hard to say. Bona Allen did make saddles for Sears & Roebuck from the 1930's t thru the 50's. You probably know this but maybe it could help. If, by any chance, you have already positively identified the saddle maker, could you verify for me that it is Bona Allen? Thanks

A stirrup is not a part of a horse, but rather a part of a saddle that a horse wears. Stirrup leathers are leather strips with holes punched every inch, in which a buckle fits. The stirrup leathers hold the stirrups (on a western saddle) or irons (on an English saddle) which is what the rider places his foot in. The ball of the foot is balanced into the stirrup.
