ThinLine Full Sheepskin Comfort Half Pad Black

ThinLine is sewn on top of the high-quality cotton with medical grade sheepskin under the panels and at the front roll. Underneath the ThinLine layer is a pocket to insert shims to help with minor saddle fit adjustments.

What is Merino Woven Wool?

It has all the benefits of Merino sheepskin on the hide:
Soft
Cool in the summer, warm in the winter
Wicks moisture
Absorbs shock and pressure

With this added feature:

• No natural hide!

How is it made and why?

• Merino lambs are sheared, and then the wool is needled onto a fabric backing.
• The wool quality, length, and density are more consistent than Merino wool on a natural hide.
• The longevity of Woven Wool is superior to Merino Wool on a hide.
• Sheep are not harmed in the making of this pad.
• With Woven Wool, machine washing is simple.

Sheepskin Half Pad Construction

• Raised wither profile to accommodate more top lines.
• Heavy Duty Cotton base –   cotton with a dense weave and light wool fill.
• Durable Billet Straps
• Pocket under ThinLine for adding saddle fitting shims

What is ThinLine?

ThinLine is a thin, shock-absorbing non-slip breathable foam. The only product endorsed by surgeons, master saddlers, riders, and veterinarians.

Where is the ThinLine?

It is the open-cell foam on the top of our half pads.

“The manner in which ThinLine absorbs motion encourages horses to lift their backs, developing strength and top-line.  It has been endorsed by Veterinarians, for horses, as well as Spinal Surgeons for riders. It is a top pick for Master Saddlers around the world. Equine Chiropractors and Massage Therapists carry it on their trucks to keep horses going strong, supple, and relaxed.  Trainers and riders find it a trusted product to improve rider equitation.

The dual benefit of extraordinary shock absorption and rider motion reduction sets ThinLine apart from other saddle pads.

This is hands down one of the best products we do. You will feel all the sensations of your horses’ back muscles while enjoying the shock absorption and nonslip features of the trademark ThinLine foam. Balance, comfort, and security can all be yours in this half pad. You will find yourself sitting correctly, developing great core strength while enjoying close but quiet communication with your horse. Horses love this half pad- they feel unified with their rider. So go ahead, it is time to have the ride of your life.
