Welcome back to our periodic feature about a product, service or concept taking the horse world by storm. Only on DressageDaily.com will you get the inside scoop on these movers and shakers in our growing 'Great Finds' Section. Our latest installment is a behind the scenes look at ThinLine Inc., the company that produces the saddle pads and boots that are the rage among international riders.

Olympic medalists Steffen Peters, Carol Lavell, Chris Kappler and Beezie Madden use ThinLine® products. We wanted to know, what makes superstars incorporate these products into their carefully managed stables?

Saddler Jen Thackery explains, “I have tried the [ThinLine®] pad on both of my Thoroughbreds and they rounded up quicker, were more responsive to the aids, and I could sit the trots much easier.”

Thackery’s experience is echoed by hundreds of riders, from Olympians to amateurs, and is the reason that Elaine Lockhead, President of ThinLine Inc., purchased the company two years ago.
