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 liner.

Saddle Fitting with the Western Cotton Saddle Pad Liner.

Full saddle fitting shims are available when you select your contoured saddle pad liner size.  These may be used as-is to double your protection or trimmed into pairs of front, bridging, and rear shims to customize your saddle fit.

Not all riders need shims for their pad. Many minor saddle fit issues will be solved with just the ThinLine pad alone.  If you are trying to solve issues such as bridging, filling in behind high withers or balancing the saddle, to name just a few, ThinLine shims will fix those issues while also providing additional protection.

ThinLine Saddle pads create a more comfortable and closer connection with your horse by reducing rider movement and protecting horses’ backs in a super-thin pad.

The western cotton liner pad is breathable, shimmable, and offers top-of-the-line shock absorption and protection. For perfect saddle fit, you can add up to 3 layers of shims in the pocket of this ThinLine pad. The shims can be placed exactly where they are needed and can be left in the pad when washing. This pad features high-quality cotton that is easy to care for and will last for years to come!

    I have the Cordura Fleece Western Pad. It fits well. My horse’s movement in his back is looser and freer. I highly recommend it.

    “I’m very happy to report that after a week of riding 10+ to 20+ miles a day the ThinLine pad kept our horses very happy. I was very nervous about making this purchase at first but I’ve have had the original pad for a long long time and know they work. I have a very mutton withered mare and she had no sore places this week! Thanks, The Smiths.” – Amanda Maschmeyer Smith.

    Julie O’Brien decided to give the ThinLine Western Cotton Liner Pad a try and was very glad she did. Julie’s AQHA mare, Tangaray not only shaved a second off her time but Julie also took home a nice paycheck. Julie credits the ThinLine pad with helping her mare.

    Amber Everson: My horse seems to love the one I bought. It has a nice grip to it and seems to cushion well.

    Lisa Haaparanta I have been using mine for the last few weeks on my 5 yr old mare. I absolutely LOVE it!!! She’s sensitive but is so comfortable with the pad that training is progressing quite smoothly. I’ve used it on my 10yr old AQHA mare who is arthritic through her shoulders and she is so free in the shoulders when I use it she may just be able to head back to the show pen again!! Will definitely be buying another!!

    I was sold on purchasing a Thinline pad thanks to YouTube video reviews regarding their impact protection for both horse and rider. I emailed Thinline for advice because I wasn’t sure which design would be best for my mule’s needs. Their employee Lisa Beam was both friendly and helpful. I ended up selecting this pad based on her recommendation and am extremely pleased with this design. It’s easy to care for, helps with my saddle fit, and supports my mule’s back while allowing for close contact. Very nice to feel more close, considering my previous, thicker pad was supportive but had less feel. Will be a repeat customer for sure!

    I’m a Western Dressage rider and needed a thin pad that would allow me close contact with my horses but protect their backs as well. I ride in a customized Western Dressage saddle with a drop rigging. Thin Line made me the medium Western Cotton modified with drop rigging leathers. The change in my horses way of moving has been amazing. Their scores have increased and the older 16 yr old QH mare finished 2016 as a High Point Champion for GA. Both horses finished in the top 50 Nationally.

    I’m interested in the round barrel pad, but I’m not sure on what shims to order with it, and do they coast extra for each shim?

    I now own 2 Thinline pads, the latest being the Western Cotton Liner and my super sensitive mare LOVES these pads. They make such a difference in her freedom of movement and the breathability of this pad is the best I’ve found…where other pad materials tend to hold the heat in, the Thinline is so breathable it just doesn’t heat up. Wish there was a Canadian distributor for the western pads as I’d like another one!

    Do you make a pad for Australian saddles?

    • Berit Brown

      Thanks for your question Leslie! Please check out our endurance and drop rigging pads. These cross over pads are great for a number of different saddle styles, including Australian saddles. We recommend checking the measurements to be sure it is the right fit for your particular saddle.

    Great saddle pad!!!! Works perfect as a liner or as a everyday pad.
    The pad shape will fit your horses back like a glove. The saddle pad is comfortable for my horse, but it stays in place, and will not slip.
    Shim system is easy to install and once set into place it will not move.
    Overall incredible product.

    Love this pad. My saddle was always slipping and it is a true pleasure to use this pad that keeps my saddle in place. Thinline products just work.

    My horse and I love this pad. I love that it is thin and I can pull it up into the gullet of my fitted western saddle. I have a high withered ottb and had been riding in the contour western ranch pad. That pad does not allow for enough wither clearance. The fit of my saddle is much better with this pad. Love the thinline technology. Can’t ride without it now. Just wish for more western pad options with colors and more wither clearance.

    Does it come with a set of shims?

    Thank you for your question! Saddle fitting shims can be found here. Not all horses need shims with their ThinLine pads, so they are available separately. 

  2. So I have mutton horse and looking for a pad to be able to throw over a show pad. Which one would work best for us?

    Hi Jill and thanks for your question! The Western Cotton Liner pad fits well on all conformations and is great to use under a show blanket. Thin enough to be layered and durable enough to use on its own.  It's also great to use on top of another pad if you have enough room under your saddle for layers. Please keep an eye out for an email to further help with your specific question!

  4. Does have ventilation along the spine?

    Thank you for your question! The quilted cotton and the ThinLine panels are both breathable materials that allow heat to escape but it does not have an open weave spine band.

    Please check out the ProTech and the Premium ProTech pads for a 3-D mesh, ventilating spine band option.

  6. What is the spine length and drop measurement of this pad, please?
