The ThinLine Trifecta Half Pad with Sheepskin Rolls is a unique design that has been created to improve both horse and rider comfort. It features Ultra ThinLine material to help reduce rider movement and provide protection to your horse's back, with sheepskin panels at the front and back to give the look for a full sheepskin pad.ThinLine is an open-cell foam which moves shock, weight, and heat laterally. Beginning as a liquid, microscopic cells are poured into a mold then polarised so each cell lies end to end creating a tunnel. Another layer is poured in the mould and polarised in a new direction.In each ThinLine pad, this process is repeated hundreds of times creating a honey comb matrix. This structure allows ThinLine to move shock, heat, and weight laterally, much like the ripple effect of throwing a stone into water. ThinLine products also carry tensile strength so that pressure is actually distributed. Behind every pressure point there is always a hollow point. ThinLine products work to relieve pressure points by adding to the hollow points.ThinLine pads can help riders find softer seats and less saddle movement in a low maintenance saddle pad. Horses seek the comfort of a breathable pad that releases heat and moisture, and both enjoy the 95% shock absorption on the horse’s and rider’s spine. The shape of this ThinLine Half Pad creates a contoured wither profile and spine free channel which allows the pad to lay on either side of the spine to always be in the right place, allowing the horse to work effectively through their back.Integrity and softness allow ThinLine to flex and stretch over high withers, around bones, splints, girths or saddle pressure points without bottoming out (like memory foam, or moving, like gel).This versatile pad can also be used to adjust the fit of your saddle. A removable shim (available separately HERE) can be inserted between the cotton and ThinLine foam layer. This shim can be cut to adjust the fit exactly where your horse needs it, or you can add the full shim to 'upgrade' your ThinLine Trifecta Half Pad to a ThinLine+ Pad. This is perfect for horses with a sensitive back, or those recovering from kissing spine treatment, and more.Finished with carefully placed girth straps to keep it in place, the ThinLine Trifecta Half Pad would be a superb addition to any horse's tack, that will greatly benefit both horse and rider.
