To determine the correct size of Mattes half pad that you should be using for your horse or pony, use our mattes half pad sizing guide below.
Mattes half pads are available to suit three types of saddle, Jumping, All Purpose or Dressage, with the dimensions in the Mattes half pad sizing guide being slightly different for each version.
If you are not sure which size half pad best fits your saddle, then please do not hesitate to get in touch via email, telephone, or using the contact us form and we will be happy to discuss your requirements with you.
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.)
