Care Instructions
Soft gel pads can be handwashed in a bucket with mild detergent, or machine washed in a wash bag at 30°C. Do not use harsh detergents, tumble dry, or expose to direct heat.
- ✓ Memory foam core moulds to your horse's back and distributes pressure evenly
- ✓ Suede top surface for a clean, grippy contact against the saddle pad
- ✓ AC Grip silicone system locks the saddle in position — no slipping, even during intense work
- ✓ Tapered close contact shape sits flush under a jumping saddle for maximum feel
The jumping close contact shape memory foam flat pad in suede with AC Grip System in silicone offers an innovative solution that combines the shockproof properties of memory foam with the effectiveness of the silicone grip.
This creates a perfect balance of stability and optimal grip, ensuring a perfect hold.
The tapered shape of the pad ensures deep contact with the horse's back, while the anatomical cut and the features of memory foam allow perfect adaptability to its silhouette. Furthermore, the even surface pressure distribution is further enhanced.
In addition to shock cushioning and vibration reduction, the item also regulates the horse's body temperature, ensuring maximum comfort.
This versatile pad was designed to fit English saddles of different sizes and styles. It can be used alone or combined with traditional square saddle pads, offering flexibility of use.
- 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
Memory Foam Technology
High-density memory foam that moulds to the shape of your horse's back and the underside of your saddle. The foam becomes more compliant as it warms with body heat, creating a custom-moulded fit. Many models feature Acavallo's 3D Spacer insert — a central spine channel that adapts to the horse's back and improves ventilation and torsion flexibility.
What It Solves
Uneven pressure distribution, back soreness, and saddle-fit issues. The foam distributes the rider's weight evenly across the back, reducing pressure points. The 3D Spacer insert eliminates spinal pressure entirely. Available with multiple grip surfaces — honeycomb, louvre, silicone, double-sided, and gel grip.
Best For
Horses with back sensitivity or soreness. Saddles that don't fit perfectly. Riders who want the most versatile half pad technology. The largest range in the Acavallo collection with options for every discipline.
