FAQs
How much shock absorption does the ThinLine material provide?
The ThinLine material is known for absorbing up to 95% of shock, significantly reducing impact on the horse's back and the rider's body.
Can this pad be used with any saddle?
It is designed to work with well-fitting saddles across disciplines like dressage and jumping. It is not intended to adjust the fit of an ill-fitting saddle.
Is the pad breathable?
Yes, the pad features a breathable and flexible mesh spine band that promotes airflow along the horse's back.
How do I clean my Perfect Fit Pad?
Clean with a damp cloth or sponge. For a deeper clean, use mild soap or a ThinLine-specific cleaner. Always air dry completely.
Can I add shims to this pad?
No, the Perfect Fit Pad is not designed to be shimmable. Its purpose is to work with an already proper saddle fit.
Is this pad suitable for horses with sensitive backs?
Yes, it is highly recommended for horses with sensitive backs, sore backs, or conditions like kissing spines due to its superior shock absorption and pressure relief.
What is the main benefit of the mesh spine band?
The mesh spine band provides better wither and gullet clearance, enhances breathability, and adds flexibility while keeping the shock-absorbing ThinLine material in place.
Troubleshooting
Pad seems to alter saddle fit
Ensure your saddle fits correctly without the pad first. The Perfect Fit Pad is designed to enhance existing fit, not to compensate for a poorly fitting saddle. Ensure the pad is lying flat and smoothly without wrinkles.
Horse appears uncomfortable
Allow a short break-in period for both horse and rider. Ensure the pad is positioned correctly and that the saddle fit is optimal. Consult with a saddle fitter or veterinarian if discomfort persists.
Pad not staying in place
Confirm that the saddle flaps and girth are adequately secured. The pad's non-slip properties are most effective when used with a properly girthed saddle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The ThinLine Perfect Fit Pad is designed to be used directly under a well-fitting saddle. Ensure the saddle fits correctly before introducing the pad, as it is designed to enhance, not correct, saddle fit. Place the pad smoothly on the horse's back, ensuring no wrinkles or twists.
Compatibility: This pad works best with saddles that already fit correctly. It is suitable for English, dressage, and jumping saddles. Due to its non-shimmable design, it is not intended to adjust an ill-fitting saddle.
Care: Clean the pad with a damp cloth or sponge. For more thorough cleaning, use a gentle soap or a specialized ThinLine pad cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the pad to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
