Super Premium Quality: unique for the equestrian world and very functional
Lambskin products from Mattes - pure nature for you and your horse
A saddle pad with sheepskin panels and front & rear trim. The flaps are unlined that minimize bulk under the rider’s leg for maximum close leg contact. The soft Mattes saddle pad is made of the highest quality lambswool. This beautiful natural wool gives you a good pressure distribution on the back of your horse. Lambswool is naturally anti-bacterial, very shok absorbing and prevents pressures. All our Mattes pads have EWWA® SPINE FREE, this is an extra wide recess in the middle where the spine runs, so that there is even less chance of pressing.
There are no loops with Velcro on the saddle pad to attach to the saddle. You can provide the pad with SADDLE-FIX®, each Mattes pad has mounting slots so that you can use SADDLE-FIX® to fix your saddle pad to your saddle.
Technical description
Proper care? Enjoy your lambskin products - for many years to come!
You’re sure to enjoy our durable lambskin products. To keep them working well and looking great for many years to come, our products are not only washable, but actually benefit from regular washing: we expressly recommend regular machine washing, preferably using our special MELP detergent. Its quality ingredients are even used in the production of our lambskins.
Washing removes not only dirt, but also sebum and ammonia from your horse’s aggressive sweat from the products. Thorough drying, preferably in a tumble dryer, ensures that the wool is fluffy and the leather remains soft.
The best way to wash and dry your lambskin products - Step by Step
- Fasten any Velcro.
- Remove POLY-FLEX® inlays and SADDLE-FIX®.
- Always wash saddle pads inside out and separately from fleece rugs.
Wash gently:
- Wash your lambskin products in the washing machine; machine washing is more effective than washing by hand.
- Do not overload your machine.
- A 30 °C wash cycle is ideal.
- Choose the “extra water” option and a normal spin cycle.
- Always use the special MELP detergent from Mattes. Please avoid using any other wool detergent, fabric softener or bleach.
Dry gently:
- Remove the product from the washing machine immediately at the end of the cycle.
- Lambskin items are best dried on a cold or cool (max 30 °C) setting in the tumble dryer, or alternatively outdoors in the shade.
- Never expose to direct heat or bright sunlight.
- Gently reshape the product as it dries.
