Why would you choose the ThinLine Sheepskin Half Pad?

Give your horse sheepskin comfort with this half pad. Combining the benefit of our famous ThinLine material on top with luxurious merino wool sheepskin fully underneath. An excellent pad for horses that need a little bit more from their half pad than a Basic ThinLine Pad.

ThinLine pads are used to improve both comforts for horse and rider. Riders find softer seats and less saddle movement in a low-maintenance saddle pad. Horses seek the relief of a breathable pad that releases heat and moisture. Both enjoy the 95% shock absorption on the horse’s and rider’s spine. Learn more about our amazing technology. Endorsed by Saddle Fitters, Veterinarians and Surgeons.

This pad has pockets to allow for shims to help create the ideal saddle fit. Take advantage of the Front, Bridging or Rear shim for when riding multiple horses, developing horses or while saddle shopping. Looking for the shims for this half pad?

How do you take care of your ThinLine Sheepskin Half Pad?

ThinLine Sheepskin products are made with 100% medical-grade merino wool on a real (non-synthetic) hide. For maintenance, we recommend brushing the sheepskin often to keep it fluffy. When not in use, we recommend storing the ThinLine Panels down, leaving the sheepskin side up.

We recommend Eucalan sheepskin wash. Use cold water and be sure to rinse thoroughly. Use the spin cycle in the washer or squeeze by hand. Allow drying naturally. No heat source: no sun or dryers. Move and stretch the leather as it dries.

To speed up the drying process, you can place paper towels or Sham Wow towels in the shim pocket of the ThinLine Ultra Panel. Don’t pull on the fibres until dry.

When the care instructions are followed properly, our sheepskin pads are proving to have an expected 4-5 years of use.
