How do you oil new reins and leather?

I just bought a nice bridle for my new horse, and I was wondering if anyone has a specific way of oiling reins. Also, do you oil the martingale and the headstall?

LEXOL, not oil.

Years of only oils and grease products have imprinted this oil myth on everybody's mind.

Leather needs moisture. Oil waterproofs (sort of) it does not moisturize. It cannot moisturize. It just makes things greasy.

Get a bottle of Lexol Original (brown bottle/container) and some water. Not HOT.

You can dunk the bridle in water until it stops bubbling. Too daring for you? Try this:
Dunk an end (the throatlatch strap is inconspicious) in some water. See the tiny bubbles? It's dry. With the help of a little water Lexol penetrates the leather carrying moisture, emollients and conditioners deep into the leather.
Still sceptical? add any oil to water and shake it well. Oil and water don't mix. Try it with the Lexol. It mixes.

I dunk fearlessly and get liberal with the Lexol and have since I discovered Lexol well over 40 years ago. Use a tack sponge, start from the back (flesh) side and give it as much Lexol as it will absorb. Repeat until it won't absorb any more. Allow to dry out of the sun and without a blow dryer to hurry things along. Buff with a soft clean cloth.

If your bridle is light colored, it will SLIGHTLY darken but it's going to anyway with use and natural oxidation. Lexol is not oily feeling so use your hands when applying and they'll get soft, too.

Apologies for the encyclopedic answer but if I just said Lexol, you wouldn't "get it".
