I really didn't know what to do. I saw that the billets were a little dry. I'll definately clean it real good. thanks again!! :)
: When you get your saddle, definitely check the
: condition of the straps you buckle the girth
: to. they are called billets. Clean them
: well with saddle soap and then condition
: them with lexol or neatsfoot oil. Actually,
: you should do this to your entire saddle
: regularly. However, if the billets are
: cracked, you should have them replaced.
: Cracked billets are just an accident waiting
: to happen!
