I got a new saddle saturday and im wondering how long everyone leaves their stirrups turned before attempting to ride in it? I just put a broom stick in them last night. Its suuuuper stiff so i know its going to take awhile lol. Any other tips or tricks? This is my first time getting a brand new one

Spray the leather with a water bottle. Soak the leather with the water while the broom is holding the leathers. Do it for a few days. Ride in it and put the broom right back.

This ^^^^^ I always wet the stirrup leathers while the stick is threw them and let them dry and then I repete. The water wont hurt the leather.
