Unsurpassed quality, function, durability and appearance elevate Mattes above the competition
Mattes pads feature a top line that has an anatomically correct curvature with high wither and Spine-Free design to eliminate pinching or rubbing in the gullet area which can lead to back soreness
The superior sheepskin is 100% natural without chemical treatment. The extreme density of the wool, combined with its structure eliminates bounce, friction and efficiently disseminates heat and sweat. The sheepskin hides are made from one large piece without seams to protect the horse from ridges of pressure
Mattes Half Pads with Rear Trim fit neatly under the saddle and can be used directly on the horse's back, or on top of another pad
The sheepskin trim around the back of the half pad does not perform a function, but offers a look that you may prefer
The dressage style is more straight in the front to correctly follow dressage saddle's flap shape
Mattes pads are machine washable in cold water with the cleaning agent, MELP, to restore the natural properties of the wool and hides to extend the life of the pad
