What are the effects of ThinLine?

“The way this product absorbs movement encourages horses to move through the back,” 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 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 are some additional features?

The signature open cell technology also makes ThinLine 100% breathable, so heat and moisture are not trapped. An antimicrobial agent is also incorporated into the ThinLine material. Because ThinLine does not compress or slip, pressure points created by movement in the saddle or challenges associated with working muscles are nearly eliminated. It also has a longer lifespan than any other product on the market. Many people get more than a decade out of a simple ThinLine saddle pad.
