• The wool quality, length, and density are more consistent than Merino wool on a natural hide.
• The longevity of Woven Wool is superior to Merino Wool on a hide.
• Sheep are not harmed in the making of this pad.
• With Woven Wool, machine washing is simple.

Performance Guaranteed

ThinLine gives you an amazing seat and super shock absorption without losing the feel. Riders will sit closer, and quieter, and horses will move with a much more relaxed back.  ThinLine is all about helping horses and riders achieve relaxation, suppleness, and communication. This is one of the finest ThinLine products we have produced.

How do you add Saddle Fitting Shims?

There is an opening at the bottom of the foam panel which allows you to shim in any area. The ThinLine on the pad is enough for extreme back protection for horse and rider. To create balance and lift ThinLine Saddle Fit Shims are sold separately and made of our ThinLine material.

Available in:

Black with Black Wool, Black with Natural Wool, or Dark Brown with Brown Wool.

Medical Grade Sheepskin Wash Instructions

Our products come with a full-year warranty provided they are cared for as directed.

Regular maintenance: Dry between rides. Place the pad wool side up in a cool environment, in humid climates use a fan to blow over the pad. Once the pad is dry, lightly brush it with a pet brush to help to keep the wool fluffy and resilient for the next ride.

Washing and drying: Sheepskin saddle pads are best washed by hand in cold water. Use a soap designed for sheepskin to keep your pad under warranty. You may machine wash (although hand wash is preferred) in a front loader, no agitators against the ThinLine panels, gentle wash cycle, cold. Remove excess water in the pad by squeezing the water out or placing in your washing machine on the spin cycle.

Fill washing machine (or bathtub for really large items) with water, then add a sheepskin soap. Soak for 1 hour squeezing soap and water through item from time to time. If the item is really dirty you may need to repeat the process. Squeeze or use the spin cycle to remove excess water and lay over a rack or rail to dry with sheepskin facing up. Keep out of the sun, and away from direct heat and dryers. Please do not brush or pull sheepskin fibers when wet. To prevent shrinkage, gently stretch the hide while drying.

Full Sheepskin Pads may take 2-3 days to dry. Sheepskin trimmed items should be good to go in a day. The ThinLine shim may slow drying time, we recommend placing absorbent products such as paper towels or chamois cloths inside the pocket.

When the care instructions are followed properly, our sheepskin pads are proving to have an expected 4-5 years of use.
