Three pockets on each side and two separate detachable panels with lambskin
The Rio Pecos is a river in New Mexico and Texas. To the west of the river once lay the rough landscapes of the Wild West. Riders back then would definitely have loved our Rio Pecos Round Western pad - alongside its anatomical cut with rounded corners and the practical wear leathers to protect against abrasion, it has the added benefits of two or six pockets and two panels with full detachable lambskin linings.

Rio Pecos - add a touch of the Wild West to your riding
The Rio Pecos Round Western pad, with its rounded lower edge, the one or three pocket system on each side and two separate panels with detachable lambskin is available in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL. It is also available with an integral pocket. Choose from more than 30 different lambskin colours; the wear leather parts is available in black, brown and champagne. The top band, binding and up to three rows of decorative piping are available in almost 50 colours. Replacement base pads and panels are available to order separately.
MATTES uses high quality cotton/polyester blend quilted fabric. The Rio Pecos Round can also be made in hard-wearing velvet on request; 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 spine.
The core of the Rio Pecos Round Western pad 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 and allows air to flow through the fabric. We completely avoid foam, neoprene or gel, making the whole pad breathable.
The Rio Pecos Round Western pad is available with the CORRECTION® System on request, with a choice of one or three pockets each side; 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!
Note:
There is a possibility of dye bleeding into the horses hair or other materials from dark or bright colored skin, because of the horses-sweat or use of unsuitable washing detergent.
Strong dyed leather of saddles etc. can also leave discolorations.
