It helps by absorbing motion, which encourages the horse to lift its back and engage its core, aiding in the development of strength and a better top-line. It also ensures a more comfortable and stable fit for the saddle.

The pad is available in Small (19.75" spine, 14.5" seat width), Medium (21.75" spine, 16" seat width), and Large (23.25" spine, 16.5" seat width).

Ensure shims are inserted correctly and fully within the pocket. Consider consulting with a professional saddle fitter to assess if the issue requires more significant saddle or pad adjustments.

Verify that the ThinLine foam layer is clean and free of debris. Ensure the saddle is properly girthed and that the horse's back is clean. The non-slip properties are most effective on a clean surface.

Double-check that shims are not creating pressure points. Remove shims and ride with just the ThinLine layer to see if comfort improves. Consult a veterinarian or equine chiropractor if discomfort persists.
