The ThinLine Dressage Saddle Pad is a low-bulk cotton-quilted pad that integrates a ThinLine topline panel to protect the horse and stabilise the rider. Its motion-absorbing foam helps the horse lift its back and improves communication between horse and rider.
-
ThinLine technology: A thin, shock-absorbing, non-slip, breathable open-cell foam designed to reduce impact and rider motion.
-
Topline panel: A dedicated ThinLine panel runs along the topline of the pad to provide targeted protection and keep the foam in place.
-
All-in-one design: Single-unit cotton quilted pad eliminates slip and bulk, with a contoured wither profile and a spine-free channel for comfort either side of the spine.
-
Size and fit: Dressage Square measures a 23.5" spine with 22.5"–21" flap length; designed to fit most saddles up to 18.5".
-
Sshim options: Trim-to-fit shims can be used as a full shim or cut into front, bridging, or rear shims; up to three layers for fine-tuning.
-
Colours: Available in black, white, and navy; jumping and dressage square options.
-
Care and durability: Machine wash cold in a front-loading washer with the ThinLine material inside out; spin to remove water; line dry away from heat and direct sunlight; white pads may be bleached; one-year full replacement warranty if care instructions are followed; expected lifespan 7–8 years.
Endorsements and practical advantages: ThinLine is backed by veterinarians, spinal surgeons, master saddlers, equine chiropractors, and massage therapists who rely on its performance. The pad supports back engagement, improves topline, and reduces rider movement for clearer communication, while maintaining saddle fit due to shim options. Its slip-free design is ideal for riders seeking calmer, more connected rides in dressage and jumping alike. With a long lifespan and straightforward care, it’s a sensible upgrade for regular riders and trainers alike.
