Once you’ve tried it you’ll never want to be without lambskin skin ever again. The MATTES half-pad is always a good choice, for general riding, dressage or show jumping. Mattes has been known for its high quality lambskin products for a century and a half.
Why choose lambskin:
Breathable structure: The open wool fibres allow air to circulate freely, preventing heat build-up — unlike neoprene.
Year-round comfort: Naturally regulates temperature, keeping horses cool in summer and warm in winter.
Highly absorbent: Can hold up to eight times its own weight in moisture before feeling damp.
Pressure distribution: Upright wool fibres distribute pressure evenly, reducing rubbing and chafing as the fibres glide smoothly against the horse’s coat.
Antibacterial properties: Natural proteins in the wool help inhibit bacterial growth.
Supports muscle development: The flexible structure of the lambskin allows the horse’s muscles to move and develop freely.
Durable and washable: Designed for long-term use — fully machine washable with MELP detergent and suitable for tumble drying.
Special tanning process: Our washable tanning method maintains the lambskin’s function and longevity, unlike others that recommend brushing only.
