We love this ThinLine Full Sheepskin Trifecta Half Pad because of the supple Sheepskin paired with a superb quality half pad made with the unbeatable ThinLine shock-absorbing foam. Follow this link to ThinLine's Trim to Fit Shims which may be used as a full shim to double your protection. You can also easily create front, bridging and rear shims by cutting the full trim to fit shim with a pair of scissors. ThinLine is sewn on top of the high-quality cotton with medical grade sheepskin under the panels and at the front roll. Underneath the ThinLine layer is a pocket to insert shims to help with minor saddle fit adjustments. ThinLine is a thin, shock-absorbing non-slip breathable foam. The only product endorsed by surgeons, master saddlers, riders and veterinarians. It is sewn onto the panel of our half saddle pads. The manner in which ThinLine absorbs motion encourages horses to lift their backs, developing strength and top-line. It has been endorsed by Veterinarians, for horses, as well as Spinal Surgeons for riders. It is a top pick for Master Saddlers around the world. Equine Chiropractors and Massage Therapists carry it on their trucks to keep horses going strong, supple and relaxed. Trainers and riders find it a trusted product to improve rider equitation. The dual benefit of extraordinary shock absorption and rider motion reduction sets ThinLine apart from other saddle pads. This is hands down one of the best products we do.
