PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: E.A. Mattes Correction Hunter Pad with Bare Flaps

The E.A. Mattes Correction Hunter Pad with Bare Flaps is a multifunctional, high-quality pad that can help you adjust the way a saddle fits on your horse. With the Mattes Correction System, you can maintain the balance and straightness of your saddle as your horse moves through the season or you can account for asymmetries in build.

The pad has two pockets in front and two in back that accept Poly-Flex® shims, included. The shims are 5mm thick, designed to be layered and are easily trimmed with scissors. If multiple shims are necessary, you can taper their ends to create a pressure free fit. Poly-Flex is resilient, doesn’t bottom out like foam or other materials, allows incremental adjustments to be made easily and absorbs shock.

Premium quality sheepskin panels under the saddle area provide cushioning, moisture-wicking and airflow. Sheepskin has long been known for its 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. Spine Free® means that panels of sheepskin have a channel to avoid pressure on the horse’s spine.  

The bare, or unlined, flaps minimize bulk under the rider’s legs. Girth loops add security.

The Dover Saddlery Guarantee

If something doesn’t fit you or your horse, return your original purchase within 30 days, and we’ll make it right with a refund, exchange, or replacement.

For manufacturer's defects, we'll extend the manufacturer's warranty to a maximum of 24 months, regardless of their individual policies. Manufacturer warranties longer than 24 months will be honored and supported by us as well up to the length of those warranties.

Exceptions: Safety items such as helmets and protective vests may only be returned within 30 days, with their original tags intact. Saddles and riding boots may be returned within 90 days, but are subject to a prorated refund based on usage. Used saddles may be returned for 30 days only. For everyone’s protection, treats and vet meds which have been opened are not returnable, and returned blankets must be clean and free of debris. Underwear is not returnable or exchangeable.

Special Conditions

To protect all customers and ensure that every return or exchange is handled fairly, we may require a receipt or decline a return in these situations:

  • Item was not purchased directly from Dover Saddlery. (It was purchased at a used tack sale or from a retailer or online seller other than Dover Saddlery.)
  • Item is missing a label or has been defaced.
  • No receipt and no valid identification in our stores.
  • Item is wet, dirty, or contaminated, or until it has been cleaned. (For health and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns on used, defective, or poorly fitting blankets if they are UNWASHED.)
  • Item has been lost, stolen, damaged, or misused.
  • On rare occasions, based on the nature of prior transactions.
  • Supplements have been opened or used.
  • Multiple returns of the same item.
  • Personalized items may not be returned unless defective.

Security Guarantee

Dover Saddlery understands your concerns regarding online security. We share in your concerns and therefore work hard with experts in the field to maintain a highly secure ordering environment. Along with our commitment to security, we offer you a Secure Order Guarantee — this gives you 100% protection for your credit card transactions on Doversaddlery.com.

Our Secure Order Guarantee means that you will never have to pay any money related to unauthorized charges to your credit card account, as long as those charges are a direct result from a transaction on Doversaddlery.com.

How it works: If you experience credit card fraud, the Fair Credit Act specifies that your credit card company can hold you liable for no more than $50.00 in fraudulent charges to your account. Our Secure Order Guarantee will reimburse you for any amount up to $50.00 billed to you by your credit card company for unauthorized charges to your account, if those charges result from an order you placed with Doversaddlery.com. For this protection, you must promptly notify your credit card company of fraudulent charges and follow their procedures as outlined in your credit card agreement.
