THE MATTES FELLSATTEL
Now also available to USA customers!
Make no mistake, this is NOT A BAREBACK PAD, this is a saddle suitable for long distance riding. Comes as a package: Saddle, Base Support (section between the sheepskin and the saddle pad which gives full wither and spinal clearance like a conventional saddle) and the Saddle Pad which is available in 10 different designs: 4 Western, 2 Spanish and 4 English. The Mattes Saddle is also available in 4 seat sizes. The saddles have 8 D rings to tie all your trail gear to or to attach a Breastplate to if need be.

FELLSATTEL MODELS
Only the pad shape changes, the Fellsattel itself, remains exactly the same regardless of model chosen.
There are 6 English/Spanish pad models to choose from and 4 Western Pad models. It is important to know that the Western pads are 8 cm longer than the English and Spanish pads. The Cob Fellsattel is also 8 cm shorter than the Full Fellsattel. Both the Mattes English Leathers and Western Fenders, can be used on all models.
HOW IT WORKS
Once your booking form and security deposit has been received, your chosen demo will be shipped to you via Australia Post. You have 10 days to put the demo saddle through it's paces. I am here to assist you remotely with fitting the Fellsattel to you horse, so be prepared to take some photographs. If your horse does not have any unusual conformation, you may find that you do not require any assistance with fitting.
You then have 2 options:
1) You can return the Demo and order a new one in your desired colour choices. New Fellsattels take 6-8 weeks to arrive.
2) Or you can return it for a full refund less the $120 trial fee and any additional costs.
