Friday Fabulous ; Mattes Eurofit Pad

It's Friday again. To kick off your lovely weekend, lets indulge in the sight of stylish saddle pads!

Saddle pads are practical. But, who doesn't want a little taste and flair when it comes to suiting up your mount? Saddle pads come in the average cuts for the Dressage, close contact and all-purpose saddles. You will often see half-pads as well, dressed in fleece on top of your typical square pad. Although the square pad will always remain a timeless choice for schooling and showing, we can't help but love this look.

Meet the Eurofit saddle pad by E.A Mattes. The best part, you can customize it. This look joins together the fitted pad and the square pad in a modern, tasteful hybrid-like design. Swooping up from the bottom of the saddle flap, in a clean, rounded line, but still leaving enough for the eye to see, this pad is complimentary of the lines seen throughout the horse itself.

There are many color choices for the quilt color, fleece, binding and piping. Fitting for all colors of tack, barn colors and especially to enhance the color of the horse. The pad also comes with optional rear fleece trim and in both all-purpose and Dressage cuts. Check out these...

"Mattes Pads are known worldwide for their quality and design innovations. Following this tradition of excellence, Mattes is proud to present the E.A. Mattes Couture Collection. The Couture Collection offers a multitude of quilt, sheepskin, and binding colors, allowing you to design a truly unique pad with custom color specifications. Be your own designer, thanks to E.A. Mattes.

The Mattes Euro-Fit Pads offer the same benefits of the half pad but in a full pad style. The Euro-Fit pattern offers a stylish line along the bottom edge of the pad. The sheepskin panels offer protection under the saddle, just like a half pad, while the "bare" or unlined flaps minimize bulk under the rider's leg. The flaps are quilted with a layer of poly-flex that absorbs energy and eliminates bounce." - SmartPak.com
