The correction pad system is ideal for horses that are either out of shape/form or returning from an injury, where incremental correction may be needed as the horse’s back and shoulders gain muscle tone. It is also good for one-sided horses or as a rear or front riser. Unique design incorporates four pockets along the spine - two front pockets and two rear pockets. Shims (6 included) fit into these pockets for a completely custom fit. You can shim the pad in one pocket, or in all four pockets, depending on the need of each particular horse. As the horse gains muscle you can eliminate the shims one by one to give him room to muscle up into the saddle. This half pad has a heavy-duty outer cotton quilt, with the patented Mattes stitching pattern. The inner core is made from no bounce Poly-Flex that will not get lumpy or lose its firmness, even after numerous washings. 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.
