The Acavallo Classic Gel pad in memory foam with back riser combines the non-slip and shock-proof properties properties of the Classic Gel pads Acavallo with the shock absorbing properties of memory foam, integrating a rear riser.A great strength is to avoid any unwanted movement of the saddle in any direction: forward, back and sideways.Furthermore, the Gel is able to compensate for the small imperfections of the horse's back, making it suitable also for the backs that are a bit more "rounded".The anatomic cut of the pad and the technical characteristics of the memory foam allows the pad to adapt and shape itself deeply to the silhouette of the horse, also allowing the surface pressure to be distributed over a large area.To these features are added the ability to absorb shocks, dampen vibrations and regulate the horse's body temperature.Designed to fit under any style and size of English saddles, it’s ideal to combine with a plain square or use on its own.The Acavallo® Classic Gel is hypoallergenic, non-toxic and does not react negatively in contact with the skin, characteristics that allow the pad to be used directly in contact with it.Acavallo® Gel Features - Shock absorbing- Stabilize the saddle- Relieve pressure- Close contact - does not alter the balance of the saddle- Light weight- Non toxic - safe for use on skin- Extreme elasticity- Easy careAcavallo® Memory Foam features:- Absorb shocks- Rubbing and friction are eliminated- Get very thin where there are already points of pressure and no need volume- Disperses pressure evenlyInfo & care: - Can be machine washed (30 °C) or by hand in a bucket of water with little detergent- Do not use harsh detergents- Do not tumble dry- Do not expose to direct heat or strong sunlight- Allow to dry naturally

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.
