Regular care with quality cleaning and reconditioning products should 
keep your saddle wet sponge proof.  My leather saddle got thoroughly 
soaked by being ridden in for 8 hours in the pouring rain.  It looked 
fairly sad the next day but I had conditioned it a couple of months 
before and did so again when it was dry.  Looks like new!
