{"product_id":"thinline-western-felt-liner-with-fenders","title":"ThinLine Western Felt Liner With Fenders","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe thin, Western Felt Saddle Pad Liner provides more shock absorption than a 2-inch thick felt pad. Pressure points are eliminated due to less bulk, the pad is soft and flexible, allowing it to fit neatly and comfortably against your horses’ natural confirmation, and communication is reestablished. Without all that material between you and your horse you can feel each other, but all without the extra movement and “dead” feel of thick pads and gel pads. Use it as a liner or add the optional fender to use it as a single pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur felt saddle pad has a wither profile which is best for moderate to high withered horses and a spine-free channel, further reducing the chance of pressure points.  This thin pad frees up more room for narrow or snug-fitting saddles and improves the comfort for horses even with saddles that are perfectly fitted. The ThinLine also ventilates, across the pad, allowing excess heat to move out from under the saddle.  Most importantly, to your horse, is how this pad creates stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThinLine is a thin, shock absorbing non slip breathable foam.  It is the only equine product endorsed by surgeons, master saddlers, riders and veterinarians.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the ThinLine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is sewn onto the panel of our contoured saddle pads.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFor the rider.\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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  along the pad. 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.
