To ensure the longevity of your ThinLine Tack. It is important to keep it away from chemicals such as Show Sheen, Fly spray, Leather Oils, etc. This can cause the ThinLine foam to harden.

I Love love LOVE thinline! Wow the difference in my horses comfort, I was recommended by a friend and I wasn’t disappointed.
I have an exrace horse, off the track only 8 weeks and we started working. He found it hard any work on his back, thinline made such a difference to his movement.
I’ll be back

I realy like the pad. I bought it because after an accident i had a knee orthosis for the last month. With this it wasn’t posible to ride with a saddle and completly bareback my horse is not realy comfordable.

Best purchase I ever made! Having saddle fit issues with a very overworked sore backed boy that was being worked under poorly fit tack creating for some long term needed respite and solutions for his longevity and comfort of wellness and overall health! Since my purchase of him last summer….its been a journey to say the least! The THINLINE comfort bareback pad has enabled me the develop a more solid ride and deeper connection with working my gelding in all the ways I was looking for! It has allowed me to develop a more solid seat at age 54 and I rest more easy knowing the gentleness it offers my boy while on/off his back to work him! Highly recommend it and won’t go without one for the rest of my riding life!

Amazing! I have a senior mare with a sensitive back. I’m careful to ride her only 1-2 times a week with a bareback pad, but she’s obviously happier with it than with our saddle! Our riding has improved tremendously. This pad is worth its weight in gold!

So far, all good. The saddle pad seems to be made from quality and durable materials to life up to the task. It offers sufficient grip, and comfort for the rider.

I ordered my Thin Line saddle pad on the recommendation of a well respected Saddle Fitter following her assessment of my horse Schweppes. Schweppes needs to build some muscle and top line in order for him to work to his best potential so riding him in a tree’s saddle is currently out of the question.
Today I tried it for the first time and was impressed by how well it fitted, didn’t move about and most of all Schweppes – who will not tolerate discomfort of any kind (and why should he?) Seemed happy and relaxed! So after day 1, I am quietly optimistic!

The pad is very nice, excellent to sit on, and the horse was more relaxed already after the first ride. I ride a lot in bareback pads, so this one will be my partner for a long time. Thank you!

Perfect pad for seat training without getting half of the horse stuck on your riding brecchers. Taking the preassurpoints from your seatbones of your horses back, and also add some extra grip for you.

I expected alot but this ThinLine barebackpad is just unbelivable! I own an older horse (24) and he was starting to show me he is not into riding in the arena that much anymore. He wasn’t a bareback riding fan either. Just like me.. I rode with this pad two times now and he is just so motivated! I sit on it like in a saddle, no slipping left or right at all or jumping up in the air (he’s a dressage horse with a lot of movement in the back, I usually sit in trot very hard in the saddle)-so yes the shock absorbing is amazing, it doesn’t slip on him either, it stays absolutely put! He has a lot of wither and his back muscle isn’t the best anymore so bareback he was quite uncomfortable, with the pad I hardly feel anything at all! Best purchase ever!! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice bareback pad! Don’t let the thinness of it fool you!

Amazing product! Super happy with the quality. My horse also seems very comfortable, especially with the shock absorbing material. Definitely would recommend to others.

As a horsetrainer, this barebackpad has made my teaching and training a lot easier. It fits ponies as well as horses, so I can use it to break in the young horses and to help my clients develop a more balanced seat. As for myself, I love that this barebackpad is so multifunctional: it’s the only one I know that enables the rider to jump properly! It’s also really comfortable to go for a long hack outside, it makes a great difference for the backmuscles of my horse. I’m so grateful I discovered Thinline!

As a horsetrainer, this pad has made my job a lot easier. It fits ponies as well as horses, so I can use it for almost all my clients who wish to train their seat. My horse and I love to ride with this pad when we go for a long hack, it makes a clear difference for his backmuscles. And what is also great about this product, is that you can perfectly use it for jumping too! So glad I came across ThinLine.

I absolutely love my Thinline bareback pad! I’ve used another type of pad but I felt like I was slipping– not with this one though! It provides a nice grip while riding bareback. More importantly, though, is that I feel good about riding my horse bareback with the shock absorption to help my mare’s back while I ride. 🙂

I love my Thin-Line bareback pad! Its comfortable for me and for the horse. Bareback riding has become a whole new experience!

Finally got to try my new pad on my 16.3 hand, high-withered mare. I. LOVE. IT. I’ve been riding bareback since Day One, but found it about impossible with this horse due to the prominence of her withers. This pad was exactly what I wanted, providing comfort for both of us! It maintains the bareback feel that I’d hoped for. Now I have another option for enjoying my mare for a quick or informal hack other than saddling up. I’m very pleased with this, my first Thin Line purchase.

My 18 hand Friesian has rather tall withers, and finding a bareback pad that would fit him properly was a journey of six years. Everything else we tried failed miserably to give us a good ride, until I found this pad at a local saddlery last fall. Not only is it comfortable for my horse and myself, but it fits other horses beautifully as well. When I walk up to my horse with this pad in my hands, he responds happily, because it is one of our favorite things to do together.

I ride a couple of horses bareback–one who is 28 with a prominent spine and one who is very round. I use a thick orthopedic pad as well with the older horse, but it was causing trouble with a standard bareback pad without wither relief. When riding the round mare with a regular bareback pad I would be sitting on the front edge of the pad (usually as it slid off the side!) within a few minutes of mounting. With the ThinLine’s shaped wither and correct girth placement (and breastcollar attachment!) I have a great bareback pad that MY sensitive back agrees with that stays PUT on both horses! Love it!
Bobbi Rogers –
This bareback pad is perfect. I finally have the comfortable ride and excellent contact with my horse that I desired. I can also add that my horse moves more freely! I have recommended this product to many of my riding friends.

I purchased the bareback pad to help with my balance during riding. This is by far, the most comfortable bareback pad I have ever sat on. I didn’t feel a need to shift my weight off balance to get comfortable, and never felt like I was hurting or making my horse feel uncomfortable. We had a loved ride and I can’t wait to use this pad again. Excellent purchase!

Kayleen Diane Johnson I’m a huge fan of ThinLine! My son is learning to ride independently this summer in my ThinLine comfort plus bareback pad & I am also starting a young mare – that same bareback pad is the first piece of equipment she’s ever felt cinched on. This piece of equipment is priceless to me!
Elaine Lockhead Costello, as much as I adore your products – my favorite part is reading these kinds of articles about you. In the midst of unemployment as a single mother, I began handcrafting artisan style bitless bridles. With encouragement of family and friends – as well as – the inspiration I find in hearing your story, I took a huge leap of faith and started my own tack company. I just wanted to let you know what a positive impact following your company has had on me as I carve a niche for my own unique products & strive to build a name for my young up and coming brand. With great sincerity, thank you!
