Close Contact Gel & Memory Foam Half Pad with full sheepskin

The Acavallo close contact Classic Gel & memory foam pad with sheepskin, combines the non-slip and shock-proof properties properties of the Classic Gel pads Acavallo with the shock absorbing properties of memory foam and with a partial sheepskin edge. 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 pad, in the lower part, is partially covered with Acavallo Sheepskin, a natural material that does not cause allergies, very soft and delicate, and perfectly suited to prevent chafing, abrasions and blisters. The benefits of the Sheepskin, combined with the Gel, allow to give a great boost from the aesthetic point of view to the traditional pads Acavallo in Gel. 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. Can be machine washed (30 °C) or by hand in a bucket of water with little detergent. Do not use harsh detergents and do not tumble dry. Do not expose to direct heat or strong sunlight and allow to dry naturally.
