Here is a link to a very good article on how to clean your leather tack.
Every time you use your saddle, leathers, etc., you should wipe it with a damp sponge covered with a cloth (e.g., car-waxing sponge), and clean it with castile soap or Effax once a week (or more often if riding in the muck).
Suggested products --
Cleaner: German Bienenwachs Lederpflege-Crème
Cleaner: Effax or
Oakwood for conditioning has a waterproofer
Conditioner: Passier Lederbalsam
In California, Horseman's One-Step is a good cleaner/conditioner in that arid climate.
For dried out leather: use a 2 inch paint brush and either Effax or tanners oil; may need 3-4 coats
