High Tech Solutions For Equine Comfort

The positive response from riders as diverse as hunter legend Geoff Teall to endurance champion Valerie Kanavy as well as dressage riders like JJ Tate, Marco Bernal, Cesar Parra and Shannon Dueck has truly encouraged Elaine. “I feel so fortunate that I came across this great product. It really is tremendous technology,” she says.

ThinLine® pads are different from other pads because they incorporate a unique, open cell technology that moves shock, weight and heat laterally along the pad without compressing. The result is 95% shock absorption.

“This encourages your horse to move through his back,” Elaine explains. “We get calls and emails literally everyday with stories of how ThinLine® saddle pads have improved their horse’s movement or their ability to sit their horse’s gaits. These riders tell us they have little or no back pain and that their horses are working better and happier. It’s a two-way street of comfort, ideal for preventing problems or resolving challenges.”

USET Member Schuyler Riley explains, “Nottingham’s back was in a lot of pain…He jumps hard and uses his whole body. At his first show in the ThinLine® pad, he jumped three days in a row without having a pole down…two weeks later a bone scan showed his back to be pain free! I even noticed a difference in my back. I now plan on using ThinLine® on all my top horses!”

The trademarked open cell technology also makes ThinLine® pads 100% breathable so heat and moisture are not trapped under the saddle. An anti-microbial agent is also infused into the pad. Because ThinLine® doesn’t compress or slip, pressure points created by movement or position changes in the saddle are eliminated. “All of the challenges associated with working muscles are nearly eliminated,” Elaine says. “And because the pad returns to its original shape immediately, it is very durable and can be used on multiple horses each day.”

ThinLine® is available in two thicknesses and in a variety of shapes, including the Ultra ThinLine Dressage Pad®, the Sheepskin Comfort Pad and a western pad.
