Mattes PM Dressage Half Pad
The Mattes Sheepskin Half Pad utlizies high quality cotton/polyester blend quilted fabric. The core of the half pad is made of two layers, POLY-FLEX which is a deep needled polyester felt which is used to maintain the shape and spread the pressure while polyester wadding provides padding. There is no foam, neoprene or gel which makes this pad entirely breathable.
The PM system was designed and named for Peter Menet, who designed Amerigo and Vega saddles. The billet straps are replaced by button holes that goes completely through the pad which allows the billet straps of a Mattes Quick or other thin pad to be fed through making the pads into a single unit.
