4. What are these called? Jockeys.
5. What's the best way to take care of your soaked tack? Leave it alone to dry on its own until it's just barely damp, then clean it and oil if needed.
6. This type of leather conditioner used to get a bad rap for "rotting the stitching," but in reality, it does no such thing. It's derived from certain bones of cattle. Neatsfoot Oil.
7. What do you do to get rid of the mold? Use white vinegar to kill the spores, then clean as usual.
8.  How would you keep a sheepskin pad clean? Let them dry, then brush gently. When they get dirty, hand or machine wash with a specially formulated soap.
9. What's the best way to take care of these natural materials? Brush off any caked dirt or sweat after each ride, and hand wash with cold water when needed.
10. How do you check is a tree is broken? Holding the pommel, gently flex the cantle back to you. If a number of wrinkles appear in the leather seat, or if it creaks, that's a sign of a possibly broken tree.
Bonus: How would you take care of this material? Similar to suede, you'd brush it off with a soft brush and clean with a damp cloth when necessary.
