Product Information

Full details

The ThinLine Comfort Half Pad is designed for equestrians seeking superior shock absorption and saddle stability for horses that require extra support. Combining the signature ThinLine shock-absorbing material with luxurious, high-quality sheepskin, this pad significantly reduces impact and prevents saddle slippage, making it an excellent choice for sensitive-backed horses; however, users should note that the Small size is strictly limited to 16.5-inch saddles and smaller, requiring precise measurement before purchase.

FAQs

Does this pad fit a 17-inch saddle?

No, this specific model is designed for 16.5-inch saddles and smaller.

Can I put this pad directly against the horse's back?

Yes, the sheepskin is designed to be comfortable and breathable when in direct contact with the horse.

How often should I clean the sheepskin?

Brush the sheepskin after every ride to remove sweat and debris; perform a deep clean only when necessary using approved sheepskin cleaners.

Are shims included with the pad?

The pad features a shimmable design, but you should verify if your specific purchase includes the shim set or if they must be ordered separately.

Will the ThinLine material break down over time?

ThinLine is known for its durability and longevity; with proper care and avoidance of extreme temperatures, it should remain effective for many years.

Troubleshooting

Saddle is still slipping

Ensure the pad is placed directly onto the horse's coat and verify that the saddle girth is tightened to appropriate tension.

Sheepskin appearing matted

Use a sheepskin-specific grooming brush to gently fluff the wool fibers after each ride to maintain loft and airflow.

Saddle fit still feels uneven

Adjust the positioning of the shims in the shimmable pockets to better address the specific pressure points detected under the saddle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers industry-leading 95% shock absorption
  • Naturally prevents saddle slip during intense work
  • Breathable sheepskin promotes skin health
  • Allows for customizable fit via shims
  • Reduces motion transfer between horse and rider

Cons

  • Size is restricted to 16.5-inch saddles or smaller
  • Sheepskin requires more frequent maintenance than synthetic materials
  • Higher initial investment due to premium materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper fit, measure your saddle to confirm it is 16.5 inches or smaller. The pad's dimensions are 21 inches in total length with a 20.5-inch spine length, an 11-inch front drop, and a 7.5-inch rear drop.

Setup: Place the pad directly against the horse's back or over a thin cloth. Insert shims into the pockets if you identify gaps between the tree and the horse's back.

Care: Brush the sheepskin regularly with a specialized comb to prevent matting. For cleaning, use products specifically formulated for sheepskin. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can degrade the ThinLine material.
