Those attending the USDF convention this week will have the chance to get their holiday shopping done at the USDF Trade Fair. DressageDaily is here, on the scene, as we introduce new member to our Virtual Vendor's Village. ThinLine, Inc makers of the revolutionary ThinLine saddle pads and riding accessories announced their sponsorship of International dressage trainer and competitor, Betsy Steiner. American World Championship team member, Betsy Steiner is one of the country’s most respected trainers and competitors. Steiner will be one of the convvention's featured speakers at the convention this week jam packed with an unprecedented roster of eduacational opportunities for the Dressage enthusiast.

“I love the shock absorbing effects of the ThinLine pads,” said Steiner, “They are a tremendous benefit to both horse and rider. I find it helps my horses relax their backs, enabling my younger horses to exhibit far more confidence in their training. I am also enthused about the close contact between rider and horse the new sleek pad design provides. The technology involved is outstanding.”

The unique ThinLine technology is open-cell foam, which moves shock, weight and heat laterally along the pad, boot or girth. When warmed to body temperature through exercise, the ThinLine products conform to the horses back, leg or girth area. Upon removing this equipment and returning it to room temperature, the ThinLine products regain their original shape, allowing a custom fit for every horse every day.
