The ThinLine Sheepskin Comfort Half Pad is designed for riders and horses seeking a blend of high-tech shock absorption and natural comfort, making it an ideal choice for sensitive-backed horses or those requiring extra saddle stability. By combining proprietary shock-absorbing materials with premium sheepskin, this pad significantly reduces rider-induced motion and prevents saddle slip, though users should be mindful that the added bulk of the sheepskin may slightly alter the saddle fit if your current saddle is already very tight.

It is recommended to use the half pad over a thin cotton or technical saddle pad to protect the sheepskin from direct sweat and dirt.
Yes, the anatomical design works well for most breeds, provided the medium size fits your specific saddle length (16.5-17 inches).
The medium size is 23.5 inches in total length; your saddle panels should ideally fit within these dimensions without extending past the edges of the pad.
ThinLine material is designed for long-term use and maintains its shock-absorbing integrity much longer than traditional foam or gel pads.
Hand washing is preferred, but it can be machine washed on a cold, delicate cycle with a sheepskin-specific cleaner. Never use regular detergent or hot water.
Verify that your saddle width is not already at the limit of the horse's fit; sheepskin adds bulk and may necessitate a wider gullet.
Use a specialized sheepskin slicker brush to gently fluff the fibers and remove trapped dirt or hair.
Ensure the ThinLine material is touching the base layer pad correctly; if slipping continues, check that the girth is adjusted to the appropriate tension.
To ensure optimal performance, place the ThinLine pad directly beneath your saddle panels and above your standard saddle pad. For the Medium size model, ensure your saddle measures between 16.5 and 17 inches to prevent an awkward overhang or fit issues. Maintenance is crucial for the longevity of the sheepskin: brush the wool gently after each ride to prevent matting and remove sweat buildup. If cleaning is required, use a mild leather-safe sheepskin detergent and wash by hand or on a delicate cycle in cool water. Avoid direct heat or sunlight when drying, as this will cause the sheepskin to harden and lose its natural properties.
