Tack can be expensive and hard to keep properly clean, but there are a few things you can do.
Keep in mind you should not use soap on suede or other 'fuzzy' leather materials.
After each ride if you are short on time, take a damp cloth and wipe the top and underside of the saddle clean, this will help keep sweat from building up.
Once a week you need to do a deep cleaning, this involves disassembling he tack completely.
1. Strip the saddle and bridle down, remove the bit and irons, let them sit in buckets of warm water while you clean the rest of the tack. This is a good time to throw and fleece into the wash, saddle pads/ blankets, girth covers et cetera.
2. Moisten a sponge and apply saddle soap to the leather, get underneath the saddle if it's an English saddle, if it's a western saddle, vacuum the fleece or wool up a bit.
3. Wash the saddle soap off after a few minutes and let it get nearly dry, then apply a conditioner, like Lexol Conditioner or Neatsfoot oil. Let it soak in, then wipe away the rest.
4. Let the tack fully dry and reassemble after washing the bit, stirrup irons (metal only) and polishing up any metal or silver on the saddle and bridle.
