FAQs
Can I machine wash the ThinLine Trifecta Half Pad?
It is recommended to hand wash the pad using a mild detergent, especially the sheepskin components, to ensure longevity.
Are the shims included with the pad?
The pad features pockets for shims; check your specific purchase details as shims are often sold as part of the system or as separate inserts.
Will this pad fit a dressage saddle?
Yes, the design is versatile and works well under most English-style saddles, including dressage models.
How often should I clean the sheepskin?
Brushing the sheepskin after every ride is recommended to keep it clean, while deep cleaning should be done only when necessary.
Is the pad suitable for horses with high withers?
Yes, the pad includes a raised wither profile designed to offer clearance and prevent pressure in that sensitive area.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding during movement
Ensure the pad is placed correctly against the horse's coat; if the issue persists, check the saddle girth tightness.
Sheepskin appearing matted
Use a specialized sheepskin brush to gently comb the fibers after the pad has dried completely.
Saddle feels unstable after shimming
Verify that all shims are inserted completely into the pockets and are lying flat without folding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first place the pad on the horse's back to ensure the spine-free channel is correctly positioned. If your saddle has minor fit imbalances, use the internal pockets to insert ThinLine shims; ensure shims are placed symmetrically on both sides unless a professional fitter has advised otherwise. The pad is compatible with most English saddles, including dressage and jumping models. For care, gently brush the sheepskin after each use to prevent matting. If the cotton base requires cleaning, hand wash with a mild detergent and air dry away from direct heat to preserve the integrity of the open-cell material.
