ThinLine English Saddle Fitting Shims - Large

Yes, you can stack multiple layers to achieve the necessary lift, provided the saddle still fits securely and safely on the horse's back.

A sharp pair of heavy-duty fabric scissors or a standard box blade with a fresh, sharp edge works best for clean, accurate cuts.

These are designed specifically for ThinLine saddle pads with shim pockets; they may not be compatible with other brands that use different pocket shapes.

If the saddle is low in the front, use a front shim. If it rests too heavily on the loin, use a rear shim. If there is a gap under the center of the saddle, use a bridge.

Due to the durable nature of the material, these shims rarely need replacing unless they have been physically damaged or lost.

Remove the shim, check that it is lying completely flat within the pocket, and ensure the saddle is centered.

Use fine-grit sandpaper or a sharp blade to gently bevel the trimmed edge of the foam for a smoother transition.
