ThinLine is ¼”thick and offers the most impact protection for the horse. What the rider will notice: the horse is happier and more willing to work, is more free in the shoulder and lifts his back. ThinLine is a good choice when first starting a horse, working a horse hard or for beginner riders. ThinLine has enough tensile strength to distribute weight evenly over areas where the saddle may not fit perfectly.
The ThinLine Half Pad is our most basic ThinLine pad. And remains one of our top sellers. It covers only the weight bearing surface of the saddle and is designed to be very minimal and discreet--you can barely notice it under saddle!
This pad will mold to your horse's shape when warmed to body temperature, and should be used on top of your regular saddle pad, directly underneath your saddle. It does flex and move with horse so there is no pinching or pulling across the withers or spine.
If you would like a saddle pad with more wither profile or spine clearance, take a look at our ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad or our Saddle Fitting Pads.
The ThinLine Half Pad measures 17.25" across the shoulder, 21" long, and 13.75" in the seat and usually fits most english saddles up to 17".
If the panels on your saddle are larger than these dimensions, if you have left-right slippage problems, or jump large fences, take a look at our ThinLine Contour pads.
