  • ✓ Hexagonal gel structure — flexible shock absorption that moves with your horse
  • ✓ Faux sheepskin lining absorbs moisture and prevents rubbing
  • ✓ Non-slip gel keeps the saddle firmly in place through every movement
  • ✓ Withers-free cut relieves pressure on the wither area for horses with high or sensitive withers

The revolutionary Acavallo withers free shape flat slim pad with suede, rear sheepskin and Hexagonal gel combines style and technology for your horse's comfort.
Its non-slip and shock-absorbing hexagonal gel structure, together with the suede lower lining and the sheepskin rear edge, offers breathability, shock absorption and a perfect fit.
Thanks to the hexagonal design of the gel, the air is compressed and then expelled during the horse's movements, creating an air cushion under the saddle. This makes the pad suitable for any style and size of English saddles.
The central part adapts perfectly to the horse's withers and back, ensuring adequate space between saddle and gel for optimal air circulation.
The Acavallo sheepskin rear edge lining, combined with the gel, prevents chafing, abrasions and blisters, offering your horse maximum comfort.
The Acavallo gel used is hypoallergenic, non-toxic and safe for the horse's skin, allowing direct contact without irritation. Furthermore, the gel can be easily adapted to any type of saddle thanks to its versatility.
Acavallo sheepskin is a natural, hypoallergenic and delicate material, which offers superior protection against chafing and abrasion. Its high density of fibres per square centimetre makes it an ideal emollient padding. It absorbs sweat effectively and releases it to the outside air quickly, ensuring a dry environment for your horse.

  • Machine washable at low temperature (max 30°C)
  • Do not use aggressive detergents
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Do not expose to direct heat or strong sunlight
  • Let it dry naturally, flat

Gel & Sheepskin Technology

Acavallo's non-slip gel combined with genuine sheepskin lining on the underside. The sheepskin sits against the horse's back for softness and breathability, while the gel sits against the saddle for grip and shock absorption.

What It Solves

Saddle slip combined with skin sensitivity, chafing, and temperature regulation. Sheepskin is naturally hypoallergenic, wicks moisture away from the skin, and provides a soft cushion that prevents rubbing — particularly beneficial for horses with thin skin or those prone to pressure sores.

Best For

Competition horses needing both grip and comfort. Horses with sensitive or thin skin. Riders wanting a premium, luxurious feel. Available in full and cut-out configurations, in sizes from pony through large.
