The Acavallo non-slip flat gel with Classic design and full wool lining combines the non-slip and shock-absorbing properties of the Classic gel with a breathable full lining in wool in the lower part.
The gel helps to avoid any unwanted movement of the saddle in any direction: forwards, backwards and sideways. Furthermore, it is able to compensate for small imperfections in the horse's back, making it suitable even for slightly more rounded backs.
Thanks to its properties, it is hypoallergenic, non-toxic and does not react negatively in contact with the skin. Such features allow the pad to be used directly in contact with it. The gel can also be cut and thus adapted, if necessary, to any type of saddle.
Acavallo wool is a natural, hypoallergenic, soft and delicate material, capable of preventing chafing, abrasions and blisters.
The fur selected by Acavallo has a very high density of fibres per square centimetre, so that this is the best emollient padding in nature.
Furthermore, wool does not emit electrostatic charges if the pad rubs with the horse's skin, thus acting as a 100% insulator. Another essential characteristic of the material is that it immediately absorbs sweat, releasing it to the outside air seven times faster than synthetic materials.
- 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.
