The Mattes  Sheepskin Correction Dressage Half Pad has four pockets, two in front and two in back, to hold Poly-Flex® Shims that can be inserted to customize the way a saddle sits on a horse. A full set of full set of Poly-Flex shims is included with the pad: six front and six back. Only 5mm thick, each shim can be layered or trimmed for desired results.

This half pad has underside panels made of high-quality merino sheepskin. The dense fibers mold perfectly to your horse while providing natural moisture wicking and breathability. The quilted cotton top has a classic look, and the contoured cut provides a comfortable fit over the withers.

With the assistance and recommendation of a qualified saddle fitter, shims can help adjust the fit of a saddle on an asymmetrical horse or help fit a saddle that may sit a little low or may be slightly too big. Shims or inserts will not help the fit of a saddle that is too tight, and in fact can make the tight fit worse.

If you would like help concerning shims/inserts and correction pads, customer service representatives in our call center and retail associates in our stores are trained and eager to help.
