As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! Just request a return with a FREE SmartPak return label from your Order History within 60 days of the purchase date.

Why We Love This
A unique dual-action formula that first penetrates new leather and progressively darkens light colored leather, and, secondly, the unique oil formulation helps protect new leather and ensure that mud and sweat can be removed with cold water.

SmartPak Returns
We put our products to the test in our barns and on our horses, so we're confident that you'll be thrilled with your purchase. However, we know that life in the barn can sometimes be unpredictable. That's why we've created a stress-free return policy. If you purchase an item and it doesn't meet your expectations, we want to know about it, take care of you and give you your money back.
Free Return Shipping on all Sized Items
As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free!

The Fine Print
We love our products and we're happy to take them back - even custom items. We'll happily take back everything from engraved halters to personalized jackets - even embroidered blankets that have been worn (minus the manure, please). But there are a few things we have to restrict returns on (silly federal regulations).
Undergarments
Health regulations require that undergarments (including bras) need to be in new condition (tags and packages intact) in order to be returned. (Even if it wasn't required, do you really want to shop from a store that takes back used undergarments?!)
Saddles
As riders, we know what a big investment a saddle is. That's why we're proud to offer the best Test Ride program in the business. You can keep our Test Ride saddles risk-free for five days, to really make sure you like the fit and the feel. We know that to truly try a saddle, you have to really ride in it. So go ahead and girth it up. Forget about wrapping your stirrup leathers. Try it with or without a saddle pad. Basically, treat it like you already bought it, so you can make sure you really want to. Because when you buy a saddle from us, we want to make sure you love it. Of course, we want our other customers to love their new saddles, too.
That's why we have a Test Ride option for each saddle we carry - so that all of the other saddles can stay in pristine condition, waiting for their new owners. For this reason, if you purchase a saddle outside the Test Ride program, it's still eligible for return, but must be free from any marks or damage.
So that's it. Seriously. Those are all of our "rules." Well, except the most important one - treating our customers the way we want to be treated. So if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do, please call us at 1-800-461-8898 or email CustomerCare@SmartPak.com. We are always happy to help.

Great product!
I love this product! It works on everything; saddles, bridles, girths, etc. I mainly use this prodcut to darken not soften or moisturize but it still works for that purpose. I've found that you do have to put in a little elbow grease but I'm very picky with color so maybe thats why. I've also found that it works better in softer leather than "harder" leather. Overall great product!

Best Darkening Oil EVER!
I recently bought a lovely new high end dark colored Havana close contact saddle, but my bridles,girths, breast collar, and reins were as dark a color. Although it took multiple coats, Hydrophane matched all off my tack to a custom match...Very Impressed! Looks like I spent so much money getting all new matching equipment, and I just bought hydrophane!

Works after a lot of coats
This product has been a great purchase to darken my oddly colored new saddle. My only complaint is that you have to apply a lot of coats over a long period of time to see results. Next time I'll just get a saddle closer in color to my desired end color!

Great for darkening and soften leather.
I used this on my Antares that had a caramel color. I wanted to darken it up to match the rest of my tack and like the darker look better. Noticed a difference after the first application but did 3 applications over 3 days to allow time to soak in and to not over Oil. Very happy with the outcome, it's like I got a new saddle! Before and after pic included.

Worked Like a Charm
This darkening oil is just what I needed. I purchased a new Western saddle and it was cheaper than the other models as it was a very light color. I did a little test on the underside of the fender before applying it everywhere and it worked great! Would definitely use again if I need to darken any leather!

I bought this one month ago and I an very please with how this product really darkens my leather. It took a couple applications to get it to the color I was looking for, but I was able to get the color I was looking for.

Didn't work for me
I read outstanding reviews about this darkening oil, but it really didn't do anything for my bridle that I recently purchased from SmartPak (wellflet hunter/jumper bridle w fancy stitching). Again - you have nothing to lose, SmartPak has an excellent customer service and I got my money back. I love purchasing stuff from SmartPak - you can always return if you don't like.

Works well
I bought this last month for my Pessoa gen x natural, which was several shades too light for my liking. I applied two thin coats and it has darkened just enough. A little oil goes a long way, and you can keep doing light layers of it to slowly adjust the color.

better than expected
just used this on my old tad coffin today to match the seat better to the flaps and to hide some wear and tear. It worked so quickly and beautifully when followed up with the passier saddle conditioner! the saddle looks and feels so much better than ever. I just wish it came in a smaller container. I don't know that I'll ever use more than 1/2 of it.
