This is the ultimate in sheepskin saddle half pads and much loved by world class competitors in all equestrian disciplines.
One of the unique features of the Mattes Half Pad is that the spine is completely free - the sheepskin padding is fixed to both sides of the pad, leaving the spine (or channel) completely free - therefore ensuring no unnecessary bulking up under the saddle.
This half pad is the ultimate in comfort for the horse and fit for the saddle.
A "Correctional" version is also available whereby extra pads can be added to the special pockets in the front and/or back of the (correctional) pad to maintain the correct alignment of the saddle and unlimately the confort of the horse.
The correctional pad is obviously more expensive but... less so than the cost of buying a new saddle!
