How does ThinLine help a rider with a sore back?

Thinline tack technology

Improved equitation and shock absorption in a ThinLine Pad is quite measurable.

ThinLine moves impact laterally across the pad instead of up into the rider’s spine reducing back strain, providing protection for riders’ spines while improving equitation, and delivering a close contact feel.

Therapeutic Saddle Pad for Horse and Rider Backs.

The dual benefits of extraordinary shock absorption and motion reduction of this product allows riders to stay in the saddle for years to come.  Not only does it remove most of the bounce but it greatly reduces the flexion of the rider’s lower back. Many riders report their backs are free from tension and pain AFTER riding in a ThinLine.  It works equally well for muscle and spinal (bone-related) issues.

Any ThinLine Therapeutic Saddle Pad will provide relief for the rider’s back. We also offer a much thinner version of this shock-absorbing foam in a seat saver just for rider relief. Click the image to view seat makers.

Does ThinLine help horses with a sore back?

ThinLine solves most muscle soreness and provides relief for bone (spinal) issues like kissing spine.  Saddle fit discomfort is eliminated because the saddle fitting shims are made of the same material as the ThinLine saddle pads.  It effectively prevents soreness in healthy horses as they age and as their workloads increase.

Are your pads good for treeless saddles?

Yes! ThinLine creates a spine-free channel providing structure and support right where you need it.

Does this pad shim for saddle fit?

Yes! ThinLine shimmable pads are available to solve virtually every saddle fit issue.  The shims are made of the same shock-absorbing pressure-relieving foam.

Technology For Horses.

SMS master saddle fitters Master Saddlers research ThinLine. 

So many horses improve top-line muscle tone by using ThinLine Master Saddlers such as Cordia Person (CSF) who also educates saddle fitters on how to shim with ThinLine. Custom saddle fitters like Cordia, recommend Basic ThinLine Pads to protect backs and keep saddles fitting until the next check.  ThinLine will not alter the fit of a custom saddle.

 


Kissing Spine Disease

How do I know ThinLine is delivering the comfort and protection my horse needs?

Once you receive your saddle pad, ride in it for at least a week.  At first, you may simply notice things like; “my horse was great today, my seat and aids were soft and effective”, great job!   You will see daily, subtle improvements at first.  After at least a week of daily riding begin your warm-up with the ThinLine.  After you are warmed up remove the ThinLine and ride.  This is when you will see just how much your horse is loving his ThinLine saddle pad.
