Western Round Correction Pad



E.A. Mattes Western Round Correction Pad

Looks soft, works hard. If you have a round saddle, then Mattes Round Western Pad is the one for you: The outside looks tasteful and sophisticated you can opt for soft velvet instead of quilted fabric when configuring your pad, which particularly emphasizes its rounded, anatomical form. Available with full lambskin lining, the wear leather protects against abrasion.

Features:

  • MATTES uses high quality cotton/polyester blend quilted fabric.
  • Mattes SPINEFREE design reliably prevents any pressure around the withers and spine. The secure SADDLE-FIX system allows the top seam of the saddle pad to be attached comfortably in the gullet of the saddle.
  • The core of the saddle pad is made of two layers: POLY-FLEX (a deep-needled polyester felt) is used to maintain the shape and spread the pressure, while polyester wadding provides padding. Foam, neoprene and gel are completely avoided, making the whole pad breathable.
  • The CORRECTION System includes three 5 mm-thick felt shims (POLY-FLEX) for each pocket, offering the same pressure relief as a good quality new saddle, padded with wool and horsehair. MATTES developed the CORRECTION System to allow flexible and easy changes to saddle fit by up to 30 mm: to easily compensate for the rapid physical development of young horses in training, for horses that have been out of work for some time, or for trained horses which change shape a lot during the competition season, whenever quick alterations are needed. Simply add extra shims, or just as importantly, remove them, to suit the horses changing shape. It is crucial to balance out long-term irregularities in conformation. These should never be corrected by adjusting the saddle itself!
  • Shims included (6 front and 6 back)
