Setting new standards

The MATTES half-pad is available in general purpose, dressage and show jumping styles in sizes S, M, L and XL. You are free to choose the design of the outer side:

  • without lambskin padding
  • with lambskin padding and trim at the front
  • with lambskin padding and trim at the back
  • with lambskin padding and trim at the front and back

The underside of the half-pad can either have no lambskin at all, or a lambskin lining beneath the saddle area. The lambskin is available in more than 30 different colours. The top band and piping are available in almost 50 colours. The optional Velcro keepers on the sides come in more than a dozen different shades, or as our PM system.

MATTES uses high quality cotton/polyester blend quilted fabric. Half-pads can also be made in hard-wearing velvet on request; special lustrous fibres are woven into the fabric to give a striking look while the thick layer of padding makes the quilted pattern really stand out. Both quilted fabric and velvet are available in a wide range of colours - you can design your pad yourself.

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.

The half-pad is available with the CORRECTION® System on request, with a choice of one or 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!

Measuring instructions

Which size saddle pad do I need for my saddle?

The seat size of your saddle is not the only deciding factor, because the shape and size of the saddle padding can differ significantly. To determine the correct size for your saddle pad, the key measurement is the length of the contact area of the saddle (including the saddle's padding) on the horse’s back.

How to measure correctly in three steps

Illustration: Length from A to B + 6 cm is the minimum back length for the saddle pad 

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Using a flexible measuring tape, measure from an imaginary line at the front edge of the saddle padding along the gullet. Follow the contour of the saddle until you reach an imaginary line at the back edge of the saddle padding. Add at least 6 cm. This gives the minimum back length for the saddle pad. Note: Quoted sizes for saddle pads may vary by +/- 2 cm. Saddle pads may shrink by up to 5 % when washed. Use the saddle pad size table to choose your size (S, M, L, XL). Column A-B gives the back length. Ensure that you choose the right saddle type when configuring your saddle pad (dressage, general purpose, jumping).
