Therapeutic saddle pad for horse and rider

Prevent and restore sore backs for both horse and rider with ThinLine. It is often mistakenly thought that half pads are only intended to correct a poor saddle fit. As described in the book “The Rider’s Pain-Free Back” by Dr. James Warson: “I have never known a horse to have back problems with a properly fitting saddle and a ThinLine saddle pad.” Prevention is more important than solving problems that already exist. And that is where ThinLine comes in with a saddle pad that Absorbs 95% of shocks. To this day, ThinLine is the only saddle pad that can meet that result!

What are the effects of ThinLine?

“The way this product absorbs movement encourages horses to move through their backs,” explains Elaine. “We receive every day stories about how ThinLine saddle pads have improved a horse's movement or a rider's ability to sit in their horse's gaits. These riders tell us that they have little or no back problems and that their horses work better and happier. It's a two-way street of comfort, preventing problems, solving challenges and just better communication.”

What is ThinLine?

ThinLine uses a unique open cell technology that distributes shock, weight and heat laterally across the saddle without compressing it. The result is 95% shock absorption. But don't let all the testing and technology confuse you; happier horses and more comfortable riders are the real result.

ThinLine moves impact laterally instead of up into the rider's spine!

This reduces the strain on the back, provides protection for the spine, improves riding style and ensures close contact while maintaining the adjusted saddle fit.
