The Rio Pecos Cotton pad is as the name suggests made from a pretty but durable cotton/polyester blend quilted fabric. There is a choice of 38 different quilt colours and once you include the trim options, there is an unlimited number of combinations.
The Rio Pecos western show pad is also available in hard-wearing velvet or cotton sheen quilt (the cotton sheen has the same quilting style as the velvet).
The trademarked SPINEFREE® design reliably prevents any pressure around the withers and spine.
Unique to the Rio Pecos Range of Western Saddle Pads, is the fully removable sheepskin lining, this makes keeping your sheepskin clean much easier than having to wash the whole pad. Mattes has their own range of Melp Cleaning fluid, especially designed for their sheepskin.
The core of the Rio Pecos Square Western 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 and allows air to flow through the fabric. Mattes completely avoid foam, neoprene or gel, making the whole pad breathable.
The Rio Pecos Square Western saddle pad is available with the shims CORRECTION® System on request, with a choice of one or three pockets. They 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!
