About the Mattes wool saddle:
The Mattes saddles are comprised of several different layers - Sheepskin Seat, the Base Support which includes a changeable gullet to protect spine and withers, and the Saddle Pad which includes the Mattes Correction system.
The sheepskin seat is designed to put the rider in a correct and comfortable, balanced position. The shape of the seat is based on Spanish and Herder saddles proven to be ideal for long and relaxed riding. The solid (but not rigid) cantle forms an ideal support for the riders lower back. The firm knee rolls ensure a high safety level and put the rider in a correct position. The knee rolls and cantle can be removed when washing the sheepskin.
The Base Support is the core part of the Mattes Wool Saddle. It is the base for the Sheepskin Seat and has integrated padding for the rider to sit on. Together with the stabilising panels the tunnel made from MPS-16 materials is responsible for the good pressure distribution on the horse’s back. Girth straps as well as either stirrup leathers or fenders are attached to the Base Support.
It is recommended to use safety stirrups as the stirrup leathers are attached to the saddle with a closed steel ring.
The Saddle Pad has MATTES lambskin panels in the saddle area, as well as built in MPS-1 pressure distribution panels and POLY-FLEX inserts for best pressure distribution. The pressure distribution panels are components of the saddles construction and functionality.
