EA Mattes Gold EuroFit Correction Pad

The E. A. Mattes GOLD EuroFit Correction Pad with Pockets for Shims and Bare Flaps is made with the same design and high quality materials as the sheepskin pads. The GOLD pad fits neatly under the saddle and can be used directly on the horse's back, or on top of a quilted pad that has a similar shaped top line.

• GOLD panel pads are made with high loft, dense, 11/4" long wool on a fabric backing.
• Front and rear trim are sheepskin.
• Follow the contours of the horse's back with no sharp edges.
• The patented Spine Free Design, and anatomically correct top line provide unbeatable protection.
• The spine is not in contact with any seams, fabric, or tension giving your horse ultimate comfort.

MELP is still recommended to use when washing the pad since the GOLD collection pads are still made partially with sheepskin.

Please be advised both colors of pad have a white underside. Black pads will also have a white backing and underside.

Comes with 3 5 mm-thick felt shims (POLY-FLEX®) for each pocket, padded with wool and horsehair. MATTES developed the CORRECTION® System to allow flexible and easy changes to saddle fit by up to 30 mm: to easily compensate for the rapid physical development of young horses in training, for horses that have been out of work for some time, or for trained horses which change shape a lot during the competition season, whenever quick alterations are needed. Simply add extra shims, or just as importantly, remove them, to suit the horse’s changing shape. It is crucial to balance out long-term irregularities in conformation. These should never be corrected by adjusting the saddle itself.
