Mattes is the world’s leading sheepskin products company with unsurpassed quality and performance. Mattes pads are designed to be form fitting to reduce pressure points and distribute the rider’s weight evenly. All Mattes pads incorporate a high wither with an anatomically correct curvature. The high wither design eliminates pinching or rubbing in the gullet area of the saddle, which can often be a result of the “straight” top lines found on other pads. The pommel area on every Mattes pad is overlapped with sheepskin to ensure the pad stays in place and does not shift or slide. All fasteners are Velcro. Machine wash and dry.
The natural properties of genuine sheepskin can not be imitated by products made of wool pile, and especially not by artificial fiber products. The extreme density of the wool, combined with the upright position of the fibers, allows air flow between the fibers for excellent circulation, which provides superior padding and ideal pressure distribution. In addition, the design, which does not have any seams through the wool in the saddle panel area, eliminates rubbing, friction, chafing, pressure points and heat build-up on the horse’s skin.
