The Mattes Pad system is vital to how we fit saddles to last long term, as we fit wider to allow for seasonal and work changes. These pads last a long time when cared for, and although expensive, are much cheaper than changing your saddle again.
- Mattes pads colours are here (this is the link to the Rio Pecos California Pad): https://western-saddler.co.uk/collections/western-saddle-pads/products/mattes-rio-pecos-california-saddle-pad Please see a few photos at the top of the page for ideas, and scroll to the bottom for links to the actual colour samples. All the colours apply for all types of Mattes pad and cinches.
- Please choose style (California, Performer, Square, Round) here: https://western-saddler.co.uk/search?type=product,article,page&q=mattes%20saddle%20pad*
- We will advise which number of pockets and size of pad.
The breastcollar is a piece of safety equipment and so ideally one should buy the best quality one can afford.
- Would you like a breastcollar? Buckaroo do a really good quality ones from £159.00. Barefoot also do one for £105.95, but the quality isn’t nearly as good as the Buckaroo breastcollar. https://western-saddler.co.uk/collections/breastcollars
The Mattes cinches are integral to your horse’s comfort. They are not cheap and need careful measuring to ensure the correct size and shape for your horse.
- Please let me know if you have a cinch you can use temporarily when the saddle arrives (either your own or borrowed). This will help me determine which size Mattes cinch your horse requires. Then the correct shape and sized cinch can be ordered. The video to help demonstrate cinch measuring is to be found here: to follow.
- Meanwhile, please choose the colours you would like your cinch to be https://western-saddler.co.uk/collections/western-cinches/products/mattes-asymmetric-removable-cover-western-cinch
- I will advise which style of cinch and size of centre panel for your order.
I think that is it. Once you know what you want I will either get a quote or get the order in.
Many thanks,
Maria ☺
