Therapeutic Saddle Pad for Horse and Rider Backs


testing sensors

Prevent and repair sore backs of both horse and rider with ThinLine. Often misunderstood that half-pads only purpose it to alter a bad saddle fit.

As described in the “Riders pain free back” by Dr. James Warson:  “I’ve never known a horse to have a back problem if he had a well-fitting saddle and a ThinLine saddle pad.”

Prevention has a larger importance than solving where the damage is already done.  And there is where ThinLine comes in with a 95% shock-absorbing saddle pad.  Until today the only saddle-pad that can live up to that result!

 

What are the Effects of ThinLine?


“The manner in which this product absorbs motion encourages horses to move through the back,” Elaine explains. “We receive stories daily of how ThinLine saddle pads have improved a horse’s movement or a rider’s ability to sit their horse’s gaits.

These riders tell us they have little or no back strain and that their horses are working better and happier. It’s a two-way street of comfort,  preventing problems, resolving challenges and just having better communication.”

What is ThinLine?


ThinLine incorporates a unique, open-cell technology which moves shock, weight, and heat laterally along the pad without compressing. The result is 95% shock absorption.  But don’t let all the testing and technology get in the way of what really happens; happier horses and more comfortable riders.

Improved equitation and shock absorption in an Ultra ThinLine Pad is measurable.

 

ThinLine moves impact laterally instead of up into the rider’s spine!


Thus reducing back strain, providing protection for spines, improving equitation and a close contact while maintaining custom saddle fit.
