Comfort For Your Horse With a Mattes Girth Cover


Mattes is a name known for quality leather products, including comfortable lambskin accessories for rider and horse. The use of lambskin is a natural method that still provides the best protection against chafing and uncomfortable pressure points when correctly fitted to tack. A Mattes girth cover is almost essential for sensitive horses.


Who is E.A. Mattes GmbH in Australia?

In 1867 the company was founded in Tuttlingen, Germany. More than 150 years later, E.A. Mattes still produces superior leather for the aerospace, automotive and equestrian industries and enthusiasts. The philosophy behind all their lambskin products is the focus on enhancing the natural application of any products instead of forcing fashion trends.

  • Australian lambskins. The only source for the lambskins used in all their equestrian products for the past 40 years has been the Australian sheep industry. Only in our country are the contributing factors perfect for producing the best lambskins in the world, but then also only 3% of the total production is good enough for Mattes.
  • Equestrian heritage. Mattes became interested in the equestrian market in the mid-1980s and have since made their name synonymous with quality lambskin saddle pads, leg protectors and girth covers. Extensive ongoing research for product development is conducted in conjunction with professional riders, riding instructors, saddlers, the Deutsche Institut für Pferde-Osteopathie (German Equine Osteopathy Institute) in Dülmen as well as the University of Zurich's veterinary hospital.
  • Custom manufacturing. All of the Mattes products are available as standard items from reputable tack shops, but they also offer complete customisation of their equestrian products using a real-time, virtual configurator. This allows customers to choose their own colours, trim levels and embroidery. Perfect for clubs and teams.


Buy Mattes Products

Mattes is your guarantee of a quality product that is the result of years of research, fine workmanship and thorough quality inspection. There are different styles available for each of the following products, and it is best to consult the fitment guides.


  • Girths and girth covers. Four designs are available for the Mattes girths, each meticulously developed for a different body shape. Choosing the correct design for your horse will allow for more freedom of movement and reduce pressure points. The girths and the covers are two separate pieces and allow riders to stock several covers for a fresh start every time.
  • Saddle pads. Mattes saddle pads (and numnahs) are available for most saddle types, including GP, dressage, Western, endurance and Spanish saddles. The saddle pads are designed using Mattes's SPINEFREE®, and are fitted with fixing slots for SADDLE-FIX® (attaches the pad to the saddle's gullet, keeping it secure and perfectly straight at all times) and can be combined with their CORRECTION® system on request.
  • Seat savers and more. Mattes also manufactures seat savers (numnahs) and leg protectors for various disciplines. The "Professional" series of boots have removable lambskin inners so that they can be cleaned using their special MELP washing liquid that also rejuvenates the wool and leather substrate.
