To improve balance, and responsiveness, and create sounder horses, try ThinLine.

 

How does a 3/16” thick pad of ThinLine stitched onto a 1/2” thick wool felt pad make you a better-balanced rider and your horse more responsive and sounder? In a few ways…

  • Better shock absorption – The thin, Pro-Tech Premium Felt Saddle Pad provides more shock absorption than a 2-inch thick felt pad.
  • Eliminates pressure points – The pad is soft and flexible, allowing it to fit neatly and mold comfortably against your horses’ natural conformation.
  • Less Material allows you to feel your mount
  • Less Movement without the “dead” feel of thick pads and gel pads.

For the horse.

This Pro-Tech saddle pad has a wither-relief cutout which is best for moderate to low or mutton withered horses and a spine-free channel, further reducing the chance of pressure points.  This thin pad frees up more room for narrow or snug-fitting saddles and improves the comfort of horses even with saddles that are perfectly fitted. The ThinLine also ventilates allowing excess heat to move out from under the saddle.  Most important, to your horse, is how this pad creates stability.  Stability creates freedom.

For the rider.

This Western felt premium saddle pad’s slim design puts you in closer contact with your horse, so your leg can easily drape giving you a seamless feel of his sides.  You’ll notice his back moving more.  But with the extraordinary shock absorption of ThinLine, you will be moving in unison with your mount.  The ThinLine layer sewn onto the pad has a 95% shock absorption rate that spreads impact LATERALLY. This means that the motion you feel under you as you ride is absorbed by the ThinLine and transferred ACROSS the pad instead of UP into your spine. And this same shock absorption benefit is enjoyed by your horse as well.

With a reduced movement of your seat, your balance is easier to keep, helping you stay with your horse, even during quick stops and starts. You sit quieter, and he responds with relaxed, softback, and freer strides.

Shimming for protection and saddle fit:

Underneath the ThinLine layer is a pocket to insert shims. If you need help with minor saddle fit adjustments, purchase this Western felt premium saddle pad. Use it alone or add shims. Either way, your saddle will fit better and your horse will use his back better and stay sounder longer.  Shims are the same amazing ThinLine material that is sewn onto your pad.

  • 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.

    Thanks for your question! The wool felt is 1/4" thick and the ThinLine panels are 3/16" thick, so the total thickness under your saddle is just under 1/2".

    Thank you for your question! The drop measures the distance from the spine band to the bottom of the pad. The two yellow lines show the approximate places where the measurements are taken on this pad.
