✓ Memory foam core moulds to your horse's back and distributes pressure evenly
✓ Gel grip underside prevents saddle movement without adding stiffness
✓ Spine-free channel eliminates pressure along the horse's spinal column

The Acavallo half pad shape memory foam pad with classic withers and classic spine combines the excellent non-slip and shock-absorbing properties of the Acavallo gel grip models with the shock-proof features of memory foam.
This innovative pad is designed to offer a stable and comfortable saddle in every direction of movement.
The Acavallo gel guarantees a secure hold of the saddle, avoiding unwanted movements during riding. Furthermore, the gel adapts to the small imperfections of the horse's back, allowing optimal comfort even for slightly rounded backs.
The cut of the pad and the technical properties of the memory foam allow the item to adapt perfectly to the shape of the horse, evenly distributing the pressure on the back. This helps reduce shock and vibration, offering a more comfortable riding experience for the horse. Furthermore, the memory foam regulates the horse's body temperature, keeping it cool and dry.
The Acavallo memory foam pad is designed to fit any style and size of English saddle, offering maximum versatility. It can be used alone or combined with a traditional square saddle pad.
The Acavallo gel is characterised by hypoallergenic, non-toxic and non-reactive properties on the skin. This means that the pad can be used directly in contact with the horse's skin without any risk of irritation or negative reactions.

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.
