The Mattes Saddle Fix is a clever innovation designed to securely attach your Mattes pad to the saddle. It pulls the pad into the gullet of the saddle, keeping it perfectly straight and in place at all times. This is especially beneficial when using the Mattes Correction Pad, as it ensures that the corrective shims remain exactly in the location where they are needed, providing optimal pressure distribution and comfort for your horse. For illustration purposes, the photos show the Saddle Fix System on a Mattes Half Pad. Most Mattes pads are manufactured with billet keepers and two slits in the spine. If you decide to use the Saddle Fix System, it is recommended that you cut off the billet keepers. The Saddle Fix System runs along the underside of your pad and emerges through the slits in the spine. The clips on either end gently grip your saddle, with one clip attaching to the pommel and the other to the cantle. This keeps the pad secure without leaving any marks on the saddle.
