An advanced half pad designed to improve saddle fit and rider comfort, the ThinLine Full Sheepskin Comfort Half Pad blends ThinLine foam with Merino woven wool and a robust cotton base for durable performance. It offers a non-slip surface, shock absorption, and a close, balanced feel that encourages smoother contact between horse and rider.
-
ThinLine top layer: Open-cell foam across the top of the pad provides shock absorption and a non-slip surface to help stabilise the saddle during movement.
-
Two-panel raised wither profile: Built to accommodate more top lines, delivering a better fit for horses with higher withers.
-
Merino woven wool on synthetic hide: Dense premium Merino wool needled onto a fabric backing (no natural hide) for consistent density, easy care, and long-lasting performance.
-
Pocket for saddle-fitting shims: A dedicated pocket beneath the ThinLine layer allows minor saddle fit adjustments with shims for precise tuning.
-
Spine channel with spine-free centre band: Centre band is tapered to minimise bulk over the spine while maintaining support and comfort.
-
Heavy-duty cotton base with billet straps: Dense weave cotton base provides durability and secure billet strap anchorage for secure saddle placement.
-
Sizes and colours: Available in Small, Medium, and Large; colours include Black, White, Natural, and Dark Brown.
-
Care and warranty: Machine washable; comes with a full-year warranty when cared for according to the included guidelines.
-
Professional endorsement: ThinLine technology is recognised by surgeons, veterinarians, and master saddlers for its balance of shock absorption and rider motion reduction.
Benefits: This pad supports a healthier rider–horse connection by reducing saddle movement and aiding a balanced position, thanks to the combination of ThinLine’s motion absorption and the secure, non-slip surface. The removable shim pocket allows quick saddle-fit tweaks for minor adjustments, making it suitable for horses with small fit variances or changing saddle setups. Merino woven wool provides year-round comfort—soft and breathable in summer, warm and moisture-wicking in winter—while being easier to care for than traditional wool on hides. With its spine-free centre band and reinforced cotton base, it’s designed for durability, straightforward maintenance, and long-term use under daily riding.
