Mattes Eurofit GP Black Saddlepad - Large

The MATTES EUROFIT^® numnah is available in general purpose, dressage and show jumping styles in sizes S, M, L and XL. You are free to choose the design of the outer side: without lambskin padding, with lambskin padding and trim at the front, with lambskin padding and trim at the back and with lambskin padding and trim at the front and back. The underside of the EUROFIT^® numnah can either have no lambskin, a full lambskin lining, top quality lambskin lining beneath the saddle area or a crescent or specially shaped section of lambskin. The lambskin is available in more than 30 different colours. Good to know: Its ability to regulate temperature and absorb huge amounts of sweat make lambskin equally perfect for summer or winter use.

If you really want to turn heads, choose the optional embroidered MATTES logo free of charge, or your own logo or text on one or both sides (ask us for a quote). Text prices can be found in the Configurator. The top band, binding and up to three rows of decorative piping are available in almost 50 colours. The optional Velcro keepers on the sides come in more than a dozen different shades, or as our PM system. The EUROFIT® numnah is also available with the MER exercise sheet system for easy and secure attachment to our Eurofit MER exercise sheets.

MATTES uses high quality cotton/polyester blend quilted fabric.If you prefer, we can also make your EUROFIT^® numnah using a very hard-wearing polyester velvet; special lustrous fibres are woven into the fabric to give a striking look while the thick layer of padding makes the quilted pattern really stand out. Both quilted fabric and velvet are available in a wide range of colours - you can design your pad yourself.

Our SPINEFREE^® design reliably prevents any pressure around the withers and spinous processes. The secure SADDLE-FIX® system allows the top seam of the EUROFIT^® numnah to be attached comfortably in the gullet of the saddle.

The core of the EUROFIT^® numnah is made of two layers: POLY-FLEX^® (a deep-needled polyester felt) is used to maintain the shape and spread the pressure, while polyester wadding provides padding. We completely avoid foam, neoprene or gel, making the whole pad breathable.

The EUROFIT^® numnah is available with the CORRECTION^® System on request, with a choice of one or two pockets; we supply three 5 mm-thick felt shims (POLY-FLEX^®) for each pocket, offering the same pressure relief as a good quality new saddle, padded with wool and horsehair. MATTES developed the CORRECTION^® System to allow flexible and easy changes to saddle fit by up to 30 mm: to easily compensate for the rapid physical development of young horses in training, for horses that have been out of work for some time, or for trained horses which change shape a lot during the competition season, whenever quick alterations are needed. Simply add extra shims, or just as importantly, remove them, to suit the horse’s changing shape. It is crucial to balance out long-term irregularities in conformation. These should never be corrected by adjusting the saddle itself!
