The ThinLine Endurance Dropped Rigging Saddle Pad is a purpose-built pad that combines advanced shock-absorption with shim-friendly versatility, delivering comfort, support and long-lasting durability for endurance riding. It promotes close horse–rider contact while protecting sensitive areas, making it a practical choice for demanding rides. Ultra ThinLine spine panels: ThinLine is a thin, shock-absorbing non-slip breathable foam sewn onto the panel, creating a continuous support area on both sides of the horse’s spine. Open pocket for shims: The design forms an open pocket along the panel to accommodate ThinLine Plus Booster Shims, allowing you to adjust thickness for rider and horse comfort. Drop rigging protection: A dedicated ThinLine guard at the rigging point provides extra protection against pressure and rubs where the cinch contacts the pad. Girth guard protection: Additional ThinLine at the girth guard enhances comfort at cinch points, helping reduce potential irritation during longer sessions. Durable construction: Heavy-duty quilted cotton with wool fill and a washable synthetic sheepskin base combine resilience with easy maintenance and a soft, breathable underside. Compatibility and versatility: Designed to fit most drop or centre-fire endurance saddles and compatible with many styles, including Australian and Treeless saddles. Size and fit details: 27" spine length with 20" drop to the bottom of the rigging panel; 23" UltraThinLine along each side of the spine; 14.5" rear drop; 4.7 mm thick (3/16") UltraThinLine panels on both sides of the spine for protection. Endorsements: Endorsed by veterinarians, spinal surgeons and master saddlers for horses and riders, reflecting proven support and protection over time. Care and maintenance: Synthetic fleece offers soft contact against the horse with lower maintenance than natural fleece, and the pad is designed for regular washing to stay fresh between rides. Additional thickness option: ThinLine Plus Booster Shims can be ordered to increase overall ThinLine thickness as needed for individual comfort and protection. By integrating ThinLine along the spine, this pad helps absorb motion and promote a freer, more elevated back, supporting a stronger topline over long rides. The open shim pocket provides customiseable thickness, allowing riders to fine-tune fit without compromising the pad’s protective benefits. The durable, washable construction withstands daily use, while the girth and rigging guards reduce pressure points at critical contact areas. Ideal for endurance riders using drop or centre-fire rigs, Treeless and Australian saddles, it supports better communication with your horse and helps maintain comfort for both horse and rider during extended sessions.
