      Size Guide

      Mattes Half Pads

      • Measurement A-B (Back Length) - Measure along the spine of the pad, from front to back.
      • Measurement A-X (Depth) - Measure from the top to the bottom of the pad.
      • Measurement E-F (Sheepskin Area) - This measurement will show you where the sheepskin underside will come to, if you choose any option with sheepskin that sits underneath the pad.
      • If you require sheepskin on the top, please allow 3cm overlap for each section when measuring for the correct length A-B (e.g. if you want front and back top sheepskin and your pad is 58cm long, deduct 6cm so 52cm is the space you can fit your saddle into.)

        mattes half pad

        I absolutely love my Mattes half pad- it’s customized exactly how I wanted, and it actually ended up being less expensive than a plain white one would have been if I had bought it at one of the US tack stores. I had a little trouble with the website letting me complete payment for my order and was about to give up, but Jonathon reached out to me and helped me finalize my order. It arrived very quickly, with no additional surprise charges or tariffs. I would definitely order again! I have another Mattes half pad that I ordered years ago from a different company and it took a very long time to arrive, so this experience was much faster and very easy. Thanks so much!

      Description

      Description

      For those seeking versatile Dressage Half Pads, the ideal choice lies in the exceptional craftsmanship of Mattes dressage half pads. Crafted on demand using top-tier materials known for their technical prowess, these half pads come in a diverse range of colors, offering a high degree of customization, from ropes and trims to the shape and hue of the sheepskin.

      Tailored Customization: Tailor your Mattes dressage half pad to match your preferences with a spectrum of base colors, fabric materials like cotton, cotton sheen, or velvet, and an array of choices for ropes, trims, sheepskin, and embroidery. This ensures a personalized and stylish appearance that reflects your unique taste.

      Technical Excellence: In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Mattes half pads are engineered to maximize comfort for both rider and horse, incorporating innovative design elements.

      Innovative Core Design: The two-layer core design employs POLY-FLEX®, a needle-punched needled felt that ensures shape retention and pressure equalization. The use of polyester wadding for padding promotes breathability without relying on foam, neoprene, or gel.

      The SPINEFREE® design prevents pressure on the withers and spine, prioritizing comfort and performance during every ride.

      The SADDLE-FIX® system secures the center strip of the saddle pad in the saddle compartment. This reliable and user-friendly system enhances stability during rides.

      The CORRECTION® SYSTEM offers flexible adjustments to saddle position, allowing for variations of up to 30 mm. This feature is particularly beneficial for accommodating changes in young horses’ physical development, supporting horses after extended service, or adapting to fluctuations during tournament seasons. Easily reinforce or reduce the shims for quick adjustments based on changing horse requirements. Importantly, the CORRECTION® SYSTEM effectively compensates for permanent irregularities in the horse’s physique without altering the saddle itself. This adaptability ensures a comfortable fit and optimal performance under various circumstances.
