ThinLine welcomes Oded Shimoni to Sponsored Rider Team
Oded Shimoni is the New Featured Rider for ThinLine Saddle Pads and Accessories
Wellington, FL- International dressage competitor and trainer, Oded Shimoni, has recently been added as a Featured Rider by ThinLine, Inc., makers of the innovative ThinLine Saddle Pads and other riding accessories. Shimoni is a veteran of two World Equestrian Games, two European Championships and has qualified two horses for the Olympic Games.
This winter Shimoni is training and teaching at Arlene “Tuny” Page’s world-class facility, Still Point Farm in Wellington, Florida. He has trained an impressive number of his clients up to the ranks of FEI competition and coaches some of the most successful trainers and riders in the business today. He noticed many of his riders using ThinLine equipment. “I saw how good this product is,” he said, “so I tried it out for myself. The results are impressive.”
Thinline’s new age technology introduces performance driven products, which translate into horses and riders becoming top producers. Their saddle pads, sport boots and girths mold to the horses back, girth and leg area as the animal’s body temperature rises through work and exercise. ThinLine equipment becomes a custom-fit for each horse every time it is used. When removed from the horse, products reclaim their original shape; ready to “custom-mold” to the next horse in line.
The unique ThinLine technology is non-compression based open-cell foam that moves shock, weight and heat laterally along the pad, boot or girth. The texture and suppleness of this “foam” allows for complete comfort for the rider, rendering increased stability, less impact and minimizes lower back movement. “Not only is this product good for the welfare of my horses,” Shimoni smiled, “It is good for me too!”
Carefully thought out, the ThinLine products are also infused with active USDA approved anti-fungal and anti-microbial agents rated to last 7 to 9 years. ThinLine has created professional equipment that is lightweight, breathable and is infused with these anti-fungal agents to keep horses’ skin healthy. This helps to generate rounder and softer gaits, decreases back fatigue and allows the horses shoulders and back to move freely through increased suppleness and relaxation.
“There is a decided difference in the way my horses react to training while wearing ThinLine equipment,” Shimoni observed. “It is also an invaluable asset to have the disinfectant properties the saddle pads and boots have, especially when training in Florida.”
Based in Wellington, FL for the winter season, Shimoni looks forward to training his horses and testing new ThinLine products. Always the teacher, Shimoni is delighted to work with ThinLine, Inc., advising and helping them develop new and innovative horse equipment for the future. He is a very welcome addition to a steadily growing list of professional riders and trainers that endorse the ThinLine, Inc. horse product line.
