The ThinLine also ventilates allowing excess heat to move out from under the saddle.  Most important, to your horse, is how this pad creates stability.  Stability creates freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the rider.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Western felt premium saddle pad’s slim design puts you in closer contact with your horse, so your leg can easily drape giving you a seamless feel of his sides.  You’ll notice his back moving more.  But with the extraordinary shock absorption of ThinLine, you will be moving in unison with your mount.  The ThinLine layer sewn onto the pad has a 95% shock absorption rate that spreads impact \u003cem\u003eLATERALLY.\u003c\/em\u003e This means that the motion you feel under you as you ride is absorbed by the ThinLine and transferred \u003cem\u003eACROSS\u003c\/em\u003e the pad instead of \u003cem\u003eUP\u003c\/em\u003e into your spine.

You sit quieter, and he responds with relaxed, softback, and freer strides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShimming for protection and saddle fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the ThinLine layer is a pocket to insert shims. If you need help with minor saddle fit adjustments, purchase this Western felt premium saddle pad. Use it alone or add shims.
