MATTES Western saddle pad - CALIFORNIA - Fully lined is made from 100% genuine sheepskin with the addition of wear leathers.
 
There is no comparison, unsurpassed quality, design, function, durability & appearance combine to make E.A Mattes the worlds leading sheepskin pad brand.
  
Quality - E.A. Mattes Sheepskin Pads are made with only the finest quality sheepskin and a one-at-a-time mentality that ensures product quality. Pads are handmade from start to finish with attention to detail that is unparalleled. Each hide is thoroughly inspected, hand picked for quality, and made with full hides to ensure no seams contact the horse’s back.
 
Design - The anatomically correct topline design of Mattes Sheepskin Pads follows the contours of the horse’s back and allows for a perfect fit under the saddle. The patented SPINE FREE® Design ensures the spine is not in contact with any seams, fabric, or tension which eliminates the risk of rubs and pressure on the sensitive area of the back around the spine.
 
Function -  Sheepskin has long been known for it’s amazing natural properties including heat dissemination, breathability and the ability to eliminate friction and bounce. This cannot be imitated by wool pile, artificial fiber product or foam.
 
Correction - The Mattes CORRECTION®-SYSTEM was recently rated the #1 therapeutic pad on the equine market by the Horse Journal. The Mattes CORRECTION®-SYSTEM helps maintain balance and straightness for horses that change form through a season or have asymmetries. POLY-FLEX® 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. It also gives riders the ability to balance their own saddles without the need to call in a professional saddle fitter.
