Ive had my dressage saddle for 2 months and the leather on the seat has gone rippled. I have spoken to the saddler and he said that this sometimes happens and its because leather is a natural product and has stretched. Im not a heavy person so its not weight that has caused this.. should the saddler sort the problem? The saddle is a great fit and v comfy but i dont like the look of the seat.. what you think?

That doesn't sound right at all. I am quite heavy, and i bought my saddle in March this year, and there is no sign of rippling on the seat. I would definitely make more of a fuss. Yes it is natural for leather to stretch and wear, but not by that amount I am afraid.
