E.A. Mattes Platinum Collection Jump Correction Half Pad w/ rear Trim

MATTES uses high quality cotton/polyester blend quilted fabric.

Our SPINEFREE^® design reliably prevents any pressure around the withers and spine. The secure SADDLE-FIX® system allows the top seam of the half-pad to be attached comfortably in the gullet of the saddle.

The core of the half-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. We completely avoid foam, neoprene or gel, making the whole pad breathable.

This half-pad has the CORRECTION^® System , with two pockets; we supply 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 horse’s changing shape. It is crucial to balance out long-term irregularities in conformation. These should never be corrected by adjusting the saddle itself!

E. A. Mattes Platinum Sheepskin is the leader in sheepskin pads for quality, density, resilience, and purpose. Designed with no seams on the highest grade sheepskin available; E. A. Mattes Sheepskin Pads, simply put, are beyond comparison. A long-time favorite among riders of all disciplines, Mattes are the go-to pads in stables all over the world.
