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.
The Acavallo western saddle pad with classic withers and classic spine in suede with hexagonal gel grip combines the exceptional non-slip and breathable properties of the gel with the elegance of the suede lining.
The innovative Acavallo gel has the ability to prevent any unwanted movement of the saddle in all directions: forward, backward and sideways. Moreover, it is also able to adapt to the tiny imperfections of the horse's back, making it ideal even for slightly more rounded backs.
The gel with hexagonal holes absorbs shock and protects against compression. This feature makes it particularly suitable for those who spend long sessions in the saddle.
With its hypoallergenic, non-toxic and skin-friendly properties, the gel can be used directly in contact with it.
- Machine washable at 30°C
- Do not use aggressive detergents
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not treat with chlorine
- Do not expose to direct heat or intense sunlight
- Allow to dry naturally
