Product Information
Full details
The ThinLine Perfect Fit Pad is designed for equestrians seeking superior shock absorption and back protection for their horses without compromising saddle fit. Its unique ThinLine material provides targeted support, while the breathable mesh spine band ensures better wither and gullet clearance. While it offers excellent protection and enhances close contact, users should ensure their saddles are already well-fitting, as the pad is designed to augment, not correct, saddle fit.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the ThinLine material?
The ThinLine material provides exceptional shock absorption, protecting both the horse's back and the rider's joints without altering the feel or fit of the saddle.
Can this pad help correct a poorly fitting saddle?
No, the ThinLine Perfect Fit Pad is designed to work with saddles that already fit correctly. It enhances the performance of a well-fitted saddle rather than acting as a corrective device.
How does the mesh spine band improve performance?
The mesh spine band increases breathability along the horse's spine and provides better clearance for the withers and gullet, reducing pressure points.
Is this pad suitable for horses with back problems?
Yes, it is highly recommended by veterinarians and equine professionals for horses with sore backs, including those with kissing spine conditions, due to its shock-absorbing and pressure-distributing properties.
How often should I clean my ThinLine pad?
It is recommended to wipe down the pad after each use to remove sweat and dirt. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, following the care instructions provided.
Can I use shims with this pad?
The ThinLine Perfect Fit Pad is not designed to be shimmable. Its effectiveness relies on its inherent shock-absorbing properties and the correct fit of the saddle.
What type of saddles can I use this pad with?
The English version is suitable for both dressage and jumping saddles, provided they fit the horse properly.
Troubleshooting
Pad slides during use
Ensure the pad and saddle are clean and free of dirt or hair. Confirm the saddle itself is properly fitted. The non-slip surface is most effective on clean tack.
Horse appears uncomfortable
Verify that the saddle is a correct fit for the horse. The ThinLine pad is designed to enhance, not correct, saddle fit. Consult with a saddle fitter if issues persist.
Pad retains moisture
Allow the pad to air dry completely after each use. Ensure it is stored in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing in damp conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the ThinLine Perfect Fit Pad directly on the horse's back, then place the saddle on top of the pad. Ensure the saddle is correctly fitted to the horse before using the pad. The pad is designed to work with saddles that already fit well and is not intended to compensate for poor saddle fit.
Compatibility: This English version of the pad is suitable for use with both dressage and jumping saddles. It is engineered to work with custom-fitted saddles and does not alter their fit. It is not designed to be shimmable.
Care: To clean, use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then rinse thoroughly. Do not machine wash or dry. Allow the pad to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat.
