Care Instructions and Warranty

How to use your ThinLine:

ThinLine, LLC recommends ThinLine or Ultra ThinLine pads be used between your saddle and a regular saddle pad. Most customers use cotton or wool pads underneath. Although you can use ThinLine pads directly on the horse’s back, many do for show day, the lifespan of the pad may be shortened due to the softness in texture of the bottom surface of the pad. Pads used directly against the horse will not be warrantied. Some ThinLine or Ultra ThinLine pads may come with a crease where the pad has been folded to be bagged and shipped. These creases will disappear when warmed to body temperature. (1-2 rides)

Care Instructions:

ThinLine and Ultra ThinLine: may be wiped clean (we like baby wipes), hosed off, soaked, bleached, or even machine washed (some machines may catch them, so a front loader is best). Cold water, you may use mild soaps and detergents, but please do not put them in the dryer! Hang to dry (which really isn’t necessary either as ThinLine doesn’t absorb water).

What to watch out for: keep your ThinLine away from chemicals such as Show Sheen and Paint Thinner (we have no idea why people get paint thinner on their pads!)

Cotton Comfort Pads: Simple: machine wash: cold water and mild detergent (you may bleach the white ones). Use a mild/gentle cycle. Hang to dry.

Sheepskin Pads: To ensure maximum longevity of this pads please review the care instructions below.

Regular Maintenance – The most important thing to know about sheepskin is that it hates to stay wet. If you ride the sheepskin against the horse or get it thoroughly soaked make sure you dry it as rapidly as possible. Place the pad sheepkin up in a cool environtment. Using a fan to blow over the pad for more rapid and thorough drying is best. Sheepskin saddle pads must be allowed to dry between rides. Once the pad is dry, a light brushing of the sheepskin with a pet brush will separate the wool fibers and help to keep the wool fluffy and resilient for the next ride.

Washing – Sheepskin saddle pads should be hand-washed in cold water using a mild soap designed for sheepskin (we recommend Eucalan, Johnson & Johnson, or Ivory Snow Flakes). Do not wring the pad out or machine-wash it as it may result in damage. Remove excess water in the pad by carefully squeezing the water out or placing in your washing machine on the spin cycle only.

Drying – Sheepskin saddle pads should be laid flat, sheepskin up, out of the sun preferably under a fan, and not dried in the dyer or on another heating device. Once dry, lightly brush the sheepskin with a pet brush to separate the wool fibers.

Boots: Just sponge or hose off the inside and they are ready to go! Schooling, Sport and SMB boots and plain bell boots be also be machine washed, cool temperatures please. For leather boots wipe clean and maintain leather as needed. Bell boots and Cobra boots will need to hang to dry if completely washed or soaked. Bell boots w/sheepskin trim should be gently hand washed or follow the directions above for sheepskin care.

Girths: The girths are similar to the boots, just wipe or sponge off the lining and use a good leather cleaner/condition to maintain the leather.

Warranty

ThinLine, LLC does not warranty after being altered by the customer, e.g. cutting the pads. Machine washed sheepskin pads are not warranted; they must be hand washed with sheepskin conditioning agents (Leather Therapy, Melp, Johnsons Baby Shampoo.) ThinLine, LLC will replace any defective saddle pads within 1 year of purchase under normal and recommended use. Most riders receive 7 years of hard use from a ThinLine pad, however, using the basic ThinLine or Ultra ThinLine pad directly on the horse’s back may decrease the life span of the pad due to the softness of the texture on the bottom surface of the pad. (generally down to 3-4 years) Pads used directly on the horse’s back will not be warranted. ThinLine, LLC will replace any defective boots or tack equipment (girths, etc) within 6 months of purchase under normal use. A well cared for ThinLine should last nearly a decade!
