ThinLine Trifecta Expressions Sheepskin Half Pad

The ThinLine Trifecta Expressions Half Pad is a shock-absorbing half pad with removable sheepskin rolls and four interchangeable trims, giving one pad four different looks. It is best for riders who want ThinLine's slim shock absorption and the neat finish of sheepskin rolls, without the bulk or the washing routine of a full sheepskin pad.

Included are three Gemstone Collection trims - Ruby, Platinum and Sapphire - plus a White trim for the show ring. The pad is shimmable, so it can be adjusted as your horse's topline changes, and it is available in three spine lengths to suit ponies through to larger warmbloods.

How to Use

1. Measure the spine of a half pad that already fits your saddle, or your saddle's panel length, and choose Small 20.5", Medium 23" or Large 25".
2. Fit the trim you want by attaching your chosen Ruby, Platinum, Sapphire or White trim before tacking up.
3. Place the pad on the horse's back, then lift it into the gullet so the raised wither profile clears the spine.
4. Set the saddle on top and check the front drop sits ahead of the saddle flap with the sheepskin rolls lying flat and even.
5. Add shims if your saddle needs balancing, checking the fit again with the girth done up and the rider mounted.
6. After riding, dry the pad, brush the wool to keep it fluffy and hand wash in cold water with a wool wash when needed.

FAQ

What size ThinLine Trifecta Expressions Half Pad do I need?
Sizes are given as a spine measurement: Small is 20.5 inches, Medium is 23 inches and Large is 25 inches. Measure along the spine of a half pad that currently sits correctly under your saddle and choose the closest match, so the pad neither sits ahead of the saddle nor extends beyond the flap.

Which trims are included with the pad?
Four trims are included: three Gemstone Collection colours - Ruby, Platinum and Sapphire - plus White for show ring turnout.

Can the pad be shimmed?
Yes. The pad is shimmable, so shims can be added for a customised fit and to help balance a saddle as the horse's topline changes.

How do I wash and care for it?
Dry the pad between rides, hand wash in cold water with a suitable wool wash and brush the wool to keep it fluffy. A quick Scotch Guard treatment can help keep the rolls clean between washes. A full-year warranty applies when the pad is cared for as directed.

How does it compare with a full sheepskin pad?
It offers effective shock absorption without the bulk or high maintenance of a full sheepskin pad, using sheepskin only at the rolls and integrated into the cotton top.

Are the sheepskin rolls removable?
Yes. The sheepskin rolls are removable, which helps achieve a clean, even fit under the saddle and makes cleaning easier.
