Yes, leather can rot if it is exposed to moisture and humidity over time. The organic materials in leather, such as collagen, can break down due to bacterial or fungal growth in damp conditions. To prevent leather from rotting, it's essential to keep it dry, clean, and properly conditioned. Regular maintenance, including using leather protectants, can help prolong its lifespan.
Leather is an organic material. Over time, depending on how it is finished, it will absorb moisture. Various moulds will grow on (and in) it, gradual buildup of minerals can stiffen it, and moisture can cause the fibres that hold it all together to rot. Proper care can preserve leather for a long time, though!
no becuz they only rot when there in the ground becuz of all the dirt
Yes, because bovine leather is cow leather.
Well you could wash a saddle with water,but it may ruin it.Washing a saddle with water can cause it to change color,develope rain rot or mildew,or even cause the leather to come close to breakage later on.The best thing to wash leather and saddles with is a soap or spray made for cleaning and protecting leather products.These soaps can be found in most feed stores or tack shops for pretty cheap.If you do decide to take the route of buying a soap,be sure to read the label of the product to make sure it will not cause and undesired affects.

Whilst it would indeed seem that upon getting wet, the water simply runs off the leather, if left in damp humid conditions the leather will go mouldy. It is not advisible to leave leather around too much water, just in case, so whilst the way it is treated means it doesn't absorb water easily, its better to be safe than sorry.

A leather boat is at greater risk than other boats primarily due to its susceptibility to water damage and degradation over time. Leather is more porous than materials like fiberglass or aluminum, making it vulnerable to mold, mildew, and rot when exposed to moisture. Additionally, leather requires more maintenance, such as conditioning and sealing, to preserve its integrity, which can be challenging in a marine environment. Lastly, leather can be more prone to punctures and abrasions, further compromising its durability compared to other boat materials.
