Mattes Custom Square Dressage Saddle Pad
The Mattes Square Dressage Saddle Pad is designed to combine premium materials with precision saddle fit. Custom made to order each Dressage Saddle Pad is built to support a riders balance, distribute pressure evenly and enhance your horse’s comfort under a dressage saddle.
In additional to the technical superiority of this pad, it can be fully customised to suit both performance needs and personal preference.
Customisation Options
Using our online configurator, you can choose from:
- 16 velvet fabric colours
- 39 cotton and cotton sheen shades
- 30+ sheepskin colours
- Multiple rope, binding and trim combinations
- Different sheepskin configurations (including lined and trim-only options)
Customisation enables you to create a saddle pad that compliments your saddle, team colours or competition turnout, without compromising performance.
Performance & Comfort Technology
All of Mattes products are engineered with horse comfort as the priority and the saddle pad range is no different.
SPINEFREE® design
A shaped spinal channel prevents pressure on the withers and spine, allowing airflow and flexibility. An optional extra-wide wither area is available for horses with prominent withers or wide-gullet saddles.
POLY-FLEX® core construction
The internal structure combines durable needle-punched felt with polyester wadding for consistent shape retention and even pressure distribution. The design is completely foam, neoprene and gel-free, ensuring full breathability.
SADDLE-FIX® system
An optional fastening system that helps keep saddle pads securely positioned beneath the saddle.
Optional CORRECTION® System
For riders needing fine adjustments to saddle balance, the CORRECTION® system can be added. Available with either 2 or 4 pockets, each pocket includes three 5mm POLY-FLEX® inserts. Shims can be added or removed to adjust saddle position without altering the saddle itself. This is particularly useful for:
Young horses developing muscle
Horses returning to work
Seasonal changes in condition
Between saddle fittings
Sizing:
Back Length (all styles): Small (47cm), Medium (54cm), Large (58cm), XLarge (62cm)
Depth Dressage: Small (50cm), Medium (53cm), Large (56cm), XLarge (56cm)
If you are unsure which size or configuration is right for your horse, we are happy to advise before ordering.

Absolutely love this pad and whilst it is quite expensive the difference under my saddle is amazing. Loved designing the pad myself and getting exactly what I wanted, it looks super. I am very impressed with the difference it makes and will be looking after it.
Easy to place the order and arrived before Xmas!

I have ordered a few custom mattes pads from Pink Equine and they’ve all turned out great. Also great communication and updates on status of order as well.

I purchased two saddle pads lined with crystal that are absolutely magnificent. They are beautifully made of the highest quality. My black Andalusian is thrilled!!

I will only order from Pink Equine. They are invaluable if you have any questions (as I saw a saddle pad in an ad and wanted that exact one!). I think the communication is beyond any expectation, as who communicates with an online customer anymore? I was always aware of where my saddle pad was in the production process. I have never had an issue with the delivery of my pad to the US. It is always wrapped with love, and they use excellent protection to keep your saddle pad safe until it reaches your door. The only place I order my Mattes pads from. All of my barn mates use Pink Equine as well, and we all love the choices and the ease of ordering. Great job, team Pink Equine.
“Thank you so much for your kind feedback” regards Pink Equine

I love the ability to custom choose my dressage saddle pads. I purchase all of mine through Pink Equine. The choices are great, and the work is always great. They keep me informed of where in the process the saddle pad is at and when it is being shipped to the US.

Sensitive chestnut horse, this pad is very forgiving, protective and easy on his skin and coat. 10/10 for saddle pads and Pink Equine service, many thanks! Will buy again from Pink Equine without hesitation — exceptional customer service, KB

Received today, the Mattes dressage pad is so well made and fits my horse perfectly. Love the embroidery as well thanks.

The Mattes saddle pad is lovely and you made the whole process very easy. The design software was simple to use and I spent a bit more time than I had intended designing the colour of the quilt, trims, ropes and embroidery!
Even though they take a few weeks to arrive, they are definitely worth it and will need another when my new horse finally gets here.

I loved the one I had made for a friend so much that I ordered one for myself. Just gorgeous and love the fact that you can change, colour, piping, logo shape etc The only downside is having to wait for it!! But really worth the wait. Amazing quality. Worcestershire, UK.
