The Acavallo close contact Classic Gel pad in memory foam pad combines the non-slip and shock-proof properties of the classic Gel Acavallo models with the shock absorbing properties of memory foam with a suede lining and a tapered shape that guarantees a deep contact of the pad to the horse's back. A great strength og the Gel 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. 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.
