✓ Classic Acavallo gel — absorbs impact and prevents saddle movement in all directions
✓ Non-slip gel keeps the saddle firmly in place through every movement
✓ Front riser lifts the pommel to rebalance saddles that sit low at the front

The non-slip gel front riser guarantees advanced comfort and support for your horse.
Made from the renowned Acavallo Classic gel, this partial pad is designed to gently lift the front of the saddle, providing optimal relief to the horse's withers.
Ideal for either horses with high withers or horses have suffered a loss of muscle mass in the shoulder and withers area, the Acavallo gel front riser ensures superior cushioning and anatomical adaptation to the saddle and the horse's back.
With its hollow cell structure, the item distributes pressure evenly, avoiding unwanted movements of the saddle.

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

Riser Pad Technology

Gel pads with integrated wedge sections at the front, rear, or both, designed to correct saddle balance. Built on Acavallo's non-slip gel base, these pads combine anti-slip grip with targeted elevation to address specific saddle-fit imbalances.

What It Solves

Saddle tipping forward (rear riser), saddle tipping backward (front riser), saddle bridging (combination). The most practical solution for riders whose saddle fit has changed — whether from muscle gain or loss, seasonal condition changes, or using one saddle across multiple horses.

Best For

Correcting minor saddle-fit imbalances. Riders who share saddles between horses. Young horses whose topline is still developing. Temporary support while waiting for a professional saddle fit. Note: risers complement but don't replace professional saddle fitting.
