I ordered the wrong pad but once corrected this pad does what it says! My horse is now his ole energetic self with NO bucking due to sore withers and back! He is finally comfortable.
My horse loves this pad- It is making a difference in how he moves under saddle and how long we can work.

My horse's back was getting raw, I've used the Thin Line for over a month and it appears to have relieved some of the pressure. I purchased the white one which is easily hidden by the show pad.

This was a great investment for myself and my horse. I felt a great difference the very first time I used it. I'm sure my horse is also a lot happier.

Use it every day, purchased it because my horse was getting rub marks on his back and I was concerned it might get worse, so I purchased the Ultra ThinLine Contour Pad about a month ago and use it every day. A little $$ but seems to be working

Santa brought us this pad for Christmas, so we've used it a short time. It seems to offer a lot of support for her, as she continues to grow. It offers just what we need to help keep my saddle level during her growth spurts, making everything more comfortable for the both of us. Great investment!

These pads don't change the saddle fit and help relieve pressure on my horses. All my horses move better with these pads whether it be my dressage horse working on collection or my horses giving beginner lessons and everything in between. It also makes the ride more comfortable by absorbing some of the extra shock.

After borrowing one of these pads from my trainer for a couple rides I totally fell in love with the Thinline pads. Fantastic quality (she has had hers for 3 years now and uses them in her busy lesson program) and the fit is perfect for every saddle I've used it under. I did notice a difference when using this pad- my horse relaxed more through his back and felt nice and loose quickly. I am a big fan of these pads and my horses love them! (I have and use several other Thinline products and I am always a big fan!)
I bought this pad four years ago, and have never ridden without it since. Recently, my trainer tried one, and has seen a huge difference in all of her horses. Everyone is now buying one! These pads seem too simple, but they really make the horses happier, especially when jumping. I have also noticed less lower back pain. They are discrete, and last forever. I use baby wipes to clean mine occasionally, and it still looks like new after countless uses.
When I first saw the pad, I was hesitant to purchase because it does not have a contoured topline. However, after years of use, I can say that this has never been a problem. The pad really must mold to the horse's back, because I have NEVER had a fit problem.

My back used to ache so bad halfway through my ride, and after putting this on my horse I have no back pain at all. If it's doing this for me, I can't imagine how she is feeling. I've recommended this to everyone in my barn.

Bought this for my new horse who I was told had a "sensitive back" and its great so far. I really like that its super thin so its not changing the way the saddle sits or making the tree more narrow with bulk- its the perfect size too. I bought a black one for everyday use but I'll be buying a white one for shows soon.

I originally bought this pad because I have a jumper and wanted to protect his back with more than sheepskin and because I have a sore back. Now, when I ride and after I ride, my back doesn't feel sore anymore.
The pad does stick out a little under my fleece half pad, but because I'm showing in jumpers, it doesn't really matter.

I am an admitted ThinLine junkie and this didn't disappoint. I have the Contender II pad as well, but use that as my show pad only and got this for everyday schooling and trail riding since it's black. I use it on both my horses- a 16.2hh Paint/TB cross and a stocky 17.2hh TB. I just put it on top of another dressage or A/P saddle pad and their backs are protected! Even after a 7 hour ride through a river and woods, my TB (who has crazy sensitive skin) showed no signs of back soreness.

I bought this pad about a year ago after I borrowed one from a friend and fell in love. I don't feel a difference in my back, but I do feel a difference in my horses backs! They are so much looser. I can also always tell a difference in the way I ride the sitting trot. The shock absorption really does make a world of difference! I put it on a dressage horse I was riding for a friend and she was impressed by how much better he looked. I won't ride without it!

I had a bad fall and hurt my back a few summers ago and riding does usually hurt (i would never think of quiting). I ordered this pad in the hopes that it would help my back, but it does not always work. However, I did just get a new horse and the saddle was not a perfect fit (thank goodness for adjustable trees) and this pad did help fit better. My horse is also older and I think the pad does help his back alot.

My daughter started using a thinline with the horse we leased last year and I felt it kept him more comfortable. While we were still riding him she started riding another horse that killed Her back and we were back to thinline. Now she just uses them everytime no questions asked. They show no wear after 2 years of use other than marks from the saddle.

This is my second Ultra ThinLine pad, the first is still going strong but I wanted a white one for showing. This pad makes an incredible difference in the elasticity of my mare's gaits. She is much more willing to give me her back, and that makes the ride smoother. The pad is very thin, and doesnt' impact saddle fit. I don't ride without one.

I have been STRUGGLING with tightness in my horse's back for 3 years. After I needed to do a week of groundwork because of my own jaw surgery, I saw that he moved much better without me on him. I researched to find the best pad possible and settled on Thinline because it was guaranteed. This really worked. He rounds up faster, moves freer. Just won State dressage League championship Level one. Will never ride without one. Looking forward to level 2.

After buying a comfort pad for my warmblood, I threw it on my mountain horse and couldn't believe the difference it what I felt from her gait. It made her superb gait feel even better. I especially like the contour pad since it doesn't end right under the point of the tree like the half pad.

The pad completely lives up to its reputation. It absorbs shock SO well. My horse has never had a sore back, I've never had a sore back, and his trot has never been more comfortable to sit. I use mine every day and on every horse. This is truly a miracle pad, and I plan to always own at least one!
