For centuries, leather has been the preferred material for crafting equestrian gear. It is durable, comfortable, and can last for years with proper care. One type of leather that stands out is vegetable tanned leather. Unlike chrome tanning methods that use harmful chemicals, vegetable tanning uses natural extracts found in plants such as oak, mimosa, and quebracho to preserve the leather. This traditional and artisanal process has been used for centuries and can take up to two months, but it results in a high-quality leather that is strong, durable, and has a unique patina that develops over time.
Equestrians prefer vegetable tanned leather for a few reasons.
Firstly, it is environmentally friendly. The tanning process uses natural ingredients, so there are no harmful chemicals released into the environment.
Secondly, vegetable tanned leather is biodegradable, which means it will eventually break down without harming the environment.
Thirdly, vegetable tanned leather is more resistant to water and sweat than other types of leather. This is particularly important for equestrian products such as saddles, bridles, and reins that are exposed to sweat and moisture on a regular basis. Lastly, vegetable tanned leather has a unique look and feel that is highly valued by horse riders.
In conclusion, vegetable tanned leather is a high-quality, durable, and environmentally friendly option for equestrian products. With proper care and maintenance, your products can last for years and develop a beautiful patina that is unique to each item.
