What is ThinLine?

ThinLine is a thin, shock-absorbing non-slip breathable foam.

  • Impact (shock) absorbency of over 95%
  • Carrying Capacity – it is the only equestrian product that distributes rider weight across the pad
  • Non compressing – It never bottoms out, moves or degrades.
  • Breathable
  • Non-Slip
  • It is the only saddle pad endorsed by spinal surgeons, master saddlers, and veterinarians for back health in horses and humans.

You will feel all the sensations of your horses’ back muscles while enjoying the shock absorption and non-slip features of the trademark ThinLine foam. Balance, comfort, and security can all be yours in our saddle pads. You will find yourself sitting correctly, developing great core strength while enjoying a close but quiet communication with your horse. Equines love ThinLine – they feel unified with their rider. So go ahead, it is time to have the ride of your life. 

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

Once you receive your ThinLine 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 are on your way.  You will see daily improvement. But, this can be a bit subtle in the beginning. 

How to check out your pad’s effectiveness.  After at least a week of riding daily, begin your warm-up with the ThinLine.  Once you are warmed up, remove the ThinLine and ride.  This is when you will see just how much your horse is loving their saddle pad

Sheepskin Washing Instructions

Our products come with a full-year warranty provided they are cared for as directed.

Regular maintenance: Fully dry between rides, placing the pad sheepskin-up in a cool environment. Once the pad is dry, lightly brush it with a pet brush to help to keep the wool fluffy and resilient for the next ride.

Washing and drying: Sheepskin saddle pads are best washed by hand in cold water. Use any sheepskin/wool wash.

Hand Washing: Fill washing machine (or bathtub for really large items) with water, then add sheepskin detergent. Soak for 1-hour squeezing soap and water through item from time to time. If the item is really dirty you may need to repeat the process. Squeeze or use the spin cycle to remove excess water and lay over a rack or rail to dry with sheepskin facing up. Keep out of the sun, and away from direct heat and dryers. Please do not brush or pull sheepskin fibers when wet.

Machine or hand (preferred) wash cold in a front loader, no agitators against the ThinLine panels.  Remove excess water in the pad by squeezing the water out or placing it in your washing machine on the spin cycle.

Hang to dry, away from direct heat. Full Sheepskin Pads may take 2-3 days to dry. Sheepskin trimmed items should be good to go in a day. Once fully dry, gently brush up to fluff.

You can use Scotch Guard on the rolls to keep them clean and extend washing cycles!

    What would cause me to choose this pad (Wax Tough Rider Western Saddle Pad) over the Woven Wool Western Saddle Pad? It looks like the Wax Tough Rider may be thinner which is so might be better because I will put a show saddle blanket over the top. Would that work better with this one over the Woven Wool? Are there any other differences that might sway my decision to one over the other?

    Thank you for your question! Since all ThinLine pads are made with the exclusive ThinLine open-cell foam panels, all other options are just a matter of choosing your personal material preference, the best fit for your horse's conformation, and your saddle and riding style.

    All of our pads are thin enough to use under a show blanket, but saddle fit should be considered. If your saddle already fits close or on the narrow side, we recommend one of our liners which can be found here and here.

    The Woven Wool pad has a Merino wool lining and the Waxed Tough Rider Pad has a natural lambswool lining. Both can be washed cold with wool-friendly soap and hung to dry. Otherwise, the two pads that you're deciding between have similar topline profiles, sizes, and thicknesses. 

    If you'd like more help selecting the best pad for you and your horse, please email or call 919-680-6803.
