ThinLine
Innovative ThinLine material is sewn to a quilted cotton square saddle pad with luxurious woven wool sheepskin under the panels and at the front roll to create the ultimate Woven Wool Dressage Pad.
What is full Merino Woven Wool?
It’s has all the benefits of Merino Wool (soft, cool in the summer/warm in the winter, moisture absorbing, shock/weight absorbing), but with the added feature of no natural hide.
Merino lambs are sheared, and the wool is needled onto a fabric backing. The wool quality, length and density are more consistent than Merino wool on a natural hide. The longevity of Woven Wool is superior to Merion Wool on a hide. Sheep are not harmed in the making of this pad, and machine washing is simple. ThinLine’s Merino sheepskin is sheared shorter in the center of the pad. Woven wool saddle pads are better for your horse, and the sheep!
This Woven Wool Dressage Pad is constructed with two panels of innovative ThinLine material, dense top quality Merino needled wool on an synthetic hide and a heavy duty cotton base (cotton with dense weave and light wool fill). ThinLine’s Merino sheepskin is sheared shorter in the center of the pad creating a spine-free center band. The raised wither profile accommodates more top lines and the pocket under the ThinLine panels for adding saddle fitting shims.
The manner in which this product absorbs motion encourages horses to lift their backs, developing strength and top-line. ThinLine is endorsed by veterinarians, spinal surgeons (for riders) and is also a top pick for master saddlers around the world.
Shim Details:
- add trimmed Saddle Fitting Shims to the front, center, or rear to adjust your saddle fit.
- insert full length shim to add an extra layer of ThinLine comfort and protection
- up to 3 layers of shims can be stacked in the pocket
- ThinLine (3/16″)Our shock-absorbing shim is thoughtfully designed to protect both horse and rider’s backs and create a soft, quiet, elastic connection. This product reduces rider movement so horses can balance and focus. It does not amplify the seat, it reduces “background noise” so the rider’s seat aids are clear.
