Why Belvoir Leather Balsam?

Belvoir Leather Balsam is a deep-conditioning leather balm designed to nourish, soften, and protect leather while maintaining a beautiful finish. Made with a rich blend of beeswax, lanolin, and plant-based oils, it:

  • Rehydrates dry or tired leather

  • Helps maintain strength and suppleness

  • Creates a protective barrier against wear and the elements

  • Leaves leather with a natural, long-lasting sheen

Ideal for regular use, Belvoir Leather Balsam keeps tack looking and performing at its best, extending its life and ensuring comfort and safety for both horse and rider.

We’re incredibly proud to see Belvoir Leather Balsam recognised with the Horse & Rider Best in Test award, and we’d like to thank everyone who continues to choose and trust Carr & Day & Martin for our Leather Care range.

Here’s to celebrating the wins – and to Leather Care that truly stands out from the rest.
