PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: E.A. Mattes Platinum Dressage Half Pad with Rear Trim
E.A. Mattes stands as the leader, renowned for its superior quality, density, resilience, and anatomical purpose. Crafted with a seamless design using the highest grade of technical materials available, these pads are simply beyond comparison. A longtime favorite among riders of all disciplines, Mattes remains the go-to choice in stables worldwide.
These Mattes Platinum Dressage Half Pad with Rear Trim fit discreetly under the saddle and can be used directly against the horse’s back or layered over a quilted pad with a matching topline. Mattes SPINEFREE® design ensures no pressure is ever applied to the withers or spine, while the secure SADDLE-FIX® system allows the pad to be anchored comfortably within the gullet. To ensure maximum breathability, the core features two layers: POLY-FLEX® polyester felt to maintain shape and distribute pressure, and soft polyester wadding for cushioning. We intentionally avoid foam, neoprene, and gel to ensure the entire system remains fully breathable.
Key feaatures:
- Maximum Comfort: SPINEFREE® technology eliminates pressure on the withers and spine.
- Secure Fit: The SADDLE-FIX® system attaches the pad directly into the saddle gullet.
- Breathable Tech: A core of POLY-FLEX® and polyester wadding provides resilient padding without the heat-trapping effects of foam, neoprene, or gel.
Imported.
Machine wash cold on a delicate/gentle cycle using liquid Melp or a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Reshape while damp and air dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight. Brush fleece fibers gently to restore loft. See manufacturer’s label for detailed care instructions.
22" spine with trim, 17" without trim; 9.5" drop.
