Mattes All Purpose Sheepskin Half Pad with Rear Trim
Unsurpassed quality, function, durability and appearance elevate Mattes above the competition. Mattes pads feature a top line that has an anatomically correct curvature with high wither and Spine-Free design to eliminate pinching or rubbing in the gullet area which can lead to back soreness. The superior sheepskin is 100% natural without chemical treatment. The extreme density of the wool, combined with its structure eliminates bounce, friction and efficiently disseminates heat and sweat.
Mattes Half Pads with Rear Trim fit neatly under the saddle and can be used directly on the horses back, or on top of a quilted pad that has a similar shaped top line. The sheepskin trim around the back of the half pad does not perform a function, but offers a look that you may prefer. The all-purpose style has a subtle forward projection at the front to accomodate a variety of jump and all-purpose saddles.
Care: Mattes pads are machine washable in cold water with the cleaning agent, MELP, to restore the natural properties of the wool and hides to extend the life of the pad. Do not use chlorine bleach. Reshape and air dry, or fluff in the dryer on air cycle only, no heat. Do not dry completely. Remove and lay flat to finish drying..
