WORLD EQUSTRN BRNDS E.A. Mattes PM All-Purpose Correction Half Pad with Sheepskin Panels & Rear Trim- Half Pads

The E.A. Mattes PM System, including this All-Purpose Correction Half Pad with Sheepskin Panels & Rear Trim, was developed with Peter Menet, designer of Amerigo and Vega saddles.

E.A. Mattes PM System half pads have all the same features and benefits of the original Mattes half pads, but the billet straps are replaced by a button hole on each side that goes completely through the pad. This allows the billet straps of a Mattes Quilt-Only or Light Flannel Pad to be fed through the button hole, making two pads into one unit.

E. A. Mattes Platinum Sheepskin is the leader in sheepskin pads for quality, density, resilience and purpose. The dense sheepskin fibers absorb shock, wick moisture and allow air circulation naturally. Sheepskin panels are designed with no seams and using only the highest grade sheepskin available. The natural functionality and beauty make Mattes pads a longtime favorite among riders of all disciplines.

Part of the Mattes Correction System, this pad helps maintain balance and straightness for horses that change form through a season or have asymmetries. Two pockets in front and two in back hold Poly-Flex® Shims that can be used to adjust the way a saddle fits on your horse. These shims are resilient, do not bottom out like foam or other materials, and allow incremental adjustments to be made easily. The shims are 5mm thick, designed to be layered, and are easily trimmed with scissors to taper the ends and create a pressure free fit if multiple shims are necessary. A full set of Poly-Flex shims is included with the pad: six front and six back.

Imported.
Machine wash in cool water, gentle cycle, with MELP. Air dry out of direct sunlight. All shims must be removed prior to washing. See product insert for specific cleaning instructions.
