I can’t believe what a difference this pad makes! First of all it makes riding so much easier. I am able to ride for longer and can easily sit my huge Warmblood’s trot. His trot is so big it even throws me out of the saddle while posting normally. Not anymore with this pad! Secondly, I bought the ultra thinline back on track pad for my other horse who has a hyper sensitive back (chiropractor checked him out, he’s fine, just ultra sensitive) and the pad made a big difference in his overall relaxation…but I have NEVER – in the nearly 3 years I’ve owned him – been able to sit on his back at canter, only forward seat, half seat. As soon as he feels my seat even lightly in the saddle he drops his back down and takes off as fast as he can with ears pinned. Today, for the first time ever with this thinline seat saver, I was able to sit down on his back at the canter! He didn’t drop his back or run off, he accepted my seat aid and ROUNDED his back underneath me! It’s a miracle. I’m ordering a seconded one so that I have one on my dressage saddle and one on my jumping saddle. This same horse also had a problem with bucking up until now at the canter when his back would get tight. Today with the seat saver: No bucking! Not even when I took him over some low jumps. He was so comfortable he didn’t even spook at his usual place in the arena. These are big Warmbloods that I ride and I’m only 5’3” 120 lbs. This seat saver allows me to stay with the horse better and feel more solid in the saddle. It also keeps my leg quieter and solidly against the horse’s side. Plus it’s EXTREMELY comfortable and the horses move better underneath me with it. 5 stars! I wish I had tried this sooner. Thank you thinline.

Bought a second seat saver for my dressage saddle because I love this for my jumping saddle. My horse has a tendency to spook frequently but I find that the seat saver keeps me in the saddle much more securely. When he spooks I no longer become unseated. It helps me to ‘stick’ to the saddle. It gets very hot in San Diego during the summer, so wearing full seat breaches can cause me to overheat. I’ve found that I no longer need my full seat breeches to feel secure in the saddle with this seat saver. Overall it helps me to be more relaxed during my ride and that transmits to the horse, so he stays more relaxed too. And if he does happen to spook, it seems like he doesn’t get such a jolt in the back from unseating me so he calms down and goes back to work much faster, relaxing more quickly. I use the seat saver on top of the saddle and the Contender II back on track thin line pad underneath the saddle. This seems to be a winning combination for my horses! It been a complete game changer for my riding and their performance.

The description of this product is completely accurate. Before I purchased the seat saver, I was skeptical that something so thin could make riding so much more comfortable, but the difference is unbelievable. I feel much more secure in the saddle, and even though I have some back issues, I don’t have pain after riding anymore.
