Loose saddle nail...

Anyone know how to fix a loose saddle nail?

I just got a "new" Dover Circuit Pro saddle about 10 days ago. I went through the "test ride" program. This is when you order the saddle, and can ride in it for 3 days to test the fit , etc. I loved the saddle but noticed it definitely had some wear and tear on it (rust on the saddle nails, one of the holes on the billet looked very stretched out ) So I called Dover and they took $150 off the price if I wanted the saddle...that seemed fair to me.

Well I was putting new pads on my stirrups today and noticed that one of the saddle nails , under the skirt is almost about to pop off.

I am going to call Dover tomorrow. In the meantime , any suggestions? I have a riding lesson tomorrow and would like to ride my saddle if I can make it safe.

Any help would be very much appreciated :) thanks

EHofDoom....your honesty of your views and opinions without being defensive is very refreshing. I don't agree with all them but I am really impressed by your respectful approach to other people's...

Great advice! Love the one with the pinky toes! Thank you!

I agree with Cacow girl. To be able to pay your bills, and have some left over for investing and/or saving. This requires living below your means, when possible. Look at some of those celebrities...

Almond...thanks for the tip. I have switched to an English saddle and that has helped tremendously with my balance. Let me know how your journey from beginner to horseman/horsewoman is going. I am...

That advice rocks the house! Thank you so much! I had a lesson today and it went soooo much better bc I did not grip with my knees. It made staying balanced and staying in my seat so much easier! ...
