Product Information

Full details

The ThinLine English Shims for Trifecta are designed for equestrians seeking to optimize saddle fit and improve equine comfort through targeted pressure redistribution. These 3/16-inch thick shock-absorbing foam inserts are perfect for riders needing to balance their saddles or accommodate changes in their horse's muscling, though they require manual trimming to achieve the perfect contour for specific saddle pockets.

FAQs

Can I use these shims with non-ThinLine pads?

These shims are specifically designed to fit into the pockets of ThinLine Trifecta or similar pads equipped with internal shim pockets.

How do I know if I need a front, rear, or bridging shim?

A professional saddle fitter can best determine this, but generally, front shims address a saddle tipping forward, rear shims for tipping backward, and bridging shims for gaps under the center of the panel.

Are these shims washable?

Yes, you can wipe them down with a damp cloth or rinse them gently if needed. Ensure they are completely dry before re-inserting them into your pad.

What tools do I need to trim them?

A sharp pair of heavy-duty scissors or a standard box blade/utility knife works perfectly with the provided scoring lines.

Will the material flatten out over time?

No, the ThinLine comfort foam is specifically engineered to maintain its thickness and shock-absorbing properties without compressing over the life of the product.

Troubleshooting

Shim sliding inside the pad pocket

Ensure the shim is pushed fully into the corner of the pocket and that the pocket flap is securely closed.

Saddle still feels unbalanced after insertion

Check if you need to stack an additional shim or if the trim shape needs adjustment to better match the saddle panel contour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up these shims, first assess where your saddle requires more lift. Use the scoring marks on the material to guide your cuts with sharp scissors or a utility blade. Once cut, simply slide the shims into the designated pockets of your ThinLine Trifecta pad. For care, these shims are low maintenance; they can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if they become soiled. Ensure the shims remain flat within the pad pockets during use to prevent shifting or bunching. Inspect the inserts periodically when cleaning your gear to ensure they remain properly aligned within the pad.
