E.A Mattes Dressage Correction Riser Pad - Quilted 2 Pocket with Saddle Fix

Do you have a horse who requires incremental corrective action due to returning from an injury, has asymmetry or requires some lift in an otherwise well fitting saddle at the front or rear?

But you don’t want the bulk of a sheepskin pad?

Then the quilt only Mattes Correction Pad is the perfect solution.

The unique design of the Mattes Correction Pad incorporates four pockets along the spine – two front pockets and two rear pockets. Shims (12 included) fit into these 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 fee fit if multiple shims are necessary.  You can shim the pad in one pocket, or in all four pockets, depending on the need of each particular horse. As the horse gains muscle or becomes more symmetrical you can eliminate the shims one by one and fine tune the fit accordingly. Also available in a single pocket where shimming along the whole length of the pad or an offset position is required.

This half pad has a heavy-duty outer cotton quilt, with the patented Mattes stitching pattern.
