Riders dream of developing great connections with their horses, and thanks to ThinLine’s technologically advanced shock absorbing material that dream has turned into a reality. ThinLine is now introducing two new western products that will have riders raving about the horse-rider connection and protection: the Western ThinLine Liner and ThinLine Skid Boots.

The western liner is the most versatile and functional saddle pad on the market and also maintains ThinLine’s unique technology of supple, lightweight, breathable shock absorbing foam that has multiple benefits and no drawbacks.

Lockhead believes ThinLine fans will also love the new ThinLine Skid Boots. “They really do provide the maximum impact protection, which is something all riders want for their horses,” Lockhead said. “The skid boots are also no slip, breathable and will not rub, collect dirt or irritate sensitive skin.”
