Most saddle pads work on a compression basis, meaning they compress then spring back. What makes ThinLine unique is its open-cell foam technology which moves shock, weight, and heat laterally. Beginning as a liquid, microscopic cells are poured into a mold then polarized so each cell lies end to end creating a tunnel. Another layer is poured on top and polarized in a new direction. In each ThinLine pad, this process is repeated hundreds of times creating a honey comb matrix. This process allows ThinLine to absorb shock, distribute weight and ventilate heat without thick bulky pads that ruin our saddle fit.
The ThinLine layer sewn on top of the pads has a 95% shock absorption rate that spreads impact LATERALLY along the pad. 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 being enjoyed by your horse as well.
These pads have natural sheepskin bottom (not slippery). They are the perfect length for standard TW Saddles, Specialized & DP Saddles.

THIN LINE'S RECOMMENDED CARE
Sheepskin Pads:
Thin Line sheepskin products are made with 100% medical grade merino wool on a real (non-synthetic) hide. Please follow care instructions carefully to ensure you product stays under warranty, and to ensure product durability.
Regular Maintenance – The most important thing to know about sheepskin is that it hates to stay wet. If you ride the sheepskin against the horse or get it thoroughly soaked make sure it is well dried between rides. Place the pad sheepskin face up in a cool environment. In humid climates use a fan to blow over the pad. Once the pad is dry, lightly brush the sheepskin with a pet brush to help to keep the wool fluffy and resilient for the next ride.
Daily: Ride, flip sheepskin side up to store, brush occasionally.
Washing Sheepskin-Pads should only be washed when absolutely necessary, which should only be about 2-3 times in it’s lifespan if the above maintenance care is followed. Sheepskin saddle pads are best washed by hand in cold water using one of the following three approved products: Eucalan, Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo, or Ivory Snow Flakes. These products have been tested on sheepskin and are covered under warranty. You may machine wash (although hand wash is preferred) in a front loader, no agitators against the pad, single wash cycle only. Remove excess water in the pad by carefully squeezing the water out or placing in your washing machine on the spin cycle. Please do not use Melp!
Drying Sheepskin- Sheepskin saddle pads should be laid flat, sheepskin up, out of the sun. No dryers or other heating devices. The Thin Line shim may slow drying time so placing absorbent products such as heavy duty paper towels or shami’s such as sham wow inside the pocket will absorb water, speed the drying time and keep your sheepskin in better shape. Don’t over stuff pockets or the sheepskin may stretch. Do not brush or pull sheepskin when wet.
Western Felt Saddle Pads:
Brush daily. EZ All (www.EZall.com) is the best cleaner we have found for our felt pads.
