ThinLine Western Ranch Saddle Pad, Wither Profile, Pressure Relief, Aids Flexibility, For Everyday Use

ThinLine Western Ranch Saddle Pad

Adding Some Colour To Your Western Saddle Pad Selection

It is hard to find a true contoured western saddle pad, so we made one! Designed to be a lightweight durable pad for everyday use while giving you and your horse maximum protection and comfort. The ThinLine Contoured Western Ranch Pad is made of high-quality synthetic sheepskin fleece lining on high-grade wool felt fill base. Covered with tough Cordura canvas and topped with panels of 3/16″ ThinLine with pockets to add shims. Designed with a spine free channel and wither profile to accommodate varying wither types. This is one of the most durable western pads that we sell.

The single unit pad solves any slipping issues by eliminating the need for two pads.

Fix your saddle fit issues with our shim features! Adjust saddle fit and add more protection for your horse all in one easy step. Inserts stay put without shifting and you may stack up to three sets. We do not divide the pocket, allowing you or your saddle fitter to place the inserts precisely where your horse needs it. If you find you no longer need inserts, just remove them and keep all the great benefits of your ThinLine Pad!

If you see a colour you want that we don’t have in stock, please feel free to reach out and we will special order it in for you.

What is ThinLine?

ThinLine is a thin, shock-absorbing non-slip breathable foam.  It is endorsed by surgeons, master saddlers, riders and veterinarians.

Where is the ThinLine?

It is sewn onto the panel of our Contour Western Ranch Fleece Lined saddle pad. It has an open pocket, allowing you to place saddle fitting shims (if you need them).

For the horse.

A raised wither profile with a swallow topline makes this pad adaptable to the conformation of any horse – high withered or mutton withers. And the flexibility and stretchiness of the ThinLine moulds around your horse’s shape. The contour of the pad, which follows the natural curve of your horse’s back, stops any bunching.

Thin with extreme shock absorption delivers comfort for horses. The ThinLine also ventilates, across the pad, allowing excess heat to move out from under the saddle.  Most importantly, to your horse, is how this pad creates stability of the rider.  Communication and comfort are guaranteed results of ThinLine.

For the rider.

The slim design puts you in closer contact with your horse, so your leg can easily drape giving you a seamless feel of his sides.  You’ll notice his back moving more,  but with the extraordinary shock absorption of ThinLine, you will be moving in unison with your mount.  The ThinLine layer sewn onto the pad has a 95% shock absorption rate that spreads impact LATERALLY  along with the pad. The motion you feel under you as you ride is absorbed by the ThinLine and transferred ACROSS the pad instead of UP into your spine. And this same shock absorption benefit is being enjoyed by your horse as well. With the reduced movement of your seat, your balance is easier to keep so “staying” with your horse becomes second nature. You sit quieter, and he responds with a relaxed, softback, and freer strides.

Synthetic Sheepskin Care Instructions

One of the great features of selecting synthetic fleece against your horse; you have incredible softness without the high maintenance of real sheepskin. Feel free to put hours in the saddle with this pad, get sweaty and work hard!

This pad may be a bit large for your home washing machine, but it is machine washable with cold water. We recommend using Eucalan Sheepskin Wash for best results. To keep your pad looking its best brush off it off daily. A simple hosing will do as well.
