Product Information
Full details
The ThinLine Trifecta Half Pad with Sheepskin Rolls is designed for equestrian riders seeking professional-grade shock absorption and a balanced saddle fit. This shimmable half pad is ideal for those who need to address minor saddle fit issues while maintaining a close-contact feel with their horse. The primary benefit is its signature 95% shock absorption foam that stabilizes the rider's seat, though users should be aware that the added sheepskin trim requires diligent maintenance to preserve its texture and fluffiness.

FAQs
Can I use this pad without shims?
Yes, the pad functions perfectly as a standard shock-absorbing half pad without the need for additional shims.
Is this pad suitable for daily training?
Absolutely, the durability of the ThinLine material makes it an excellent choice for daily training and schooling.
How do I choose the right size?
The Large size is designed for most adult saddles, measuring 25 inches in spine length. Check your saddle seat and panel length against the 19.5-inch space between rolls to ensure a correct fit.
Can I put the pad in the dryer?
No, you should never place the pad in a dryer as the heat will damage both the foam and the sheepskin.
Does the sheepskin provide extra grip?
The sheepskin rolls provide comfort, while the non-slip ThinLine foam provides the grip that keeps your saddle steady.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding during transitions
Ensure the pad is placed directly onto a clean saddle cloth and that the saddle girth is properly tightened to allow the non-slip material to engage.
Foam feels stiff or hard
ThinLine foam may stiffen in cold temperatures. Bring the pad into a warmer environment before riding to allow it to become pliable.
Sheepskin appearing matted
Use a specialized sheepskin wire brush to gently detangle the wool fibers after every use.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Sheepskin requires regular brushing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Trifecta pad, place the pad over your base saddle pad, ensuring the sheepskin rolls are properly aligned with the pommel and cantle of your saddle. If adjustments are needed, insert thin felt shims into the internal pockets accessible via the top of the pad.
Compatibility is broad, as this pad works well with both custom and off-the-rack English saddles. For the Large size, ensure your saddle has at least 19.5 inches of space between the rolls.
To care for the pad:
- Brush the sheepskin rolls gently after every ride to remove sweat and dirt.
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a specialized sheepskin detergent.
- Always air dry the pad away from direct heat sources to maintain the foam's elasticity.
