The flagship of Acavallo gel pad is featured by products that use therapeutic gel as feedstock, the same used in health care to promote the patients’ health. Acavallo gel pad has a remarkable ability to absorb shocks; it is non-slip, antibacterial, and non-toxic. Non-slip gel means the pad does not move on the horse’s back, and the saddle, once positioned, does not move on the pad.
The extremely lightweight Classic Gel Pad may be used directly on the horse’s back. The Acavallo Gel Pad has the ability to allow the skin to breathe while maintaining contact with the saddle. It may be combined with different materials such as sheepskin, wool and Dri-Lex, which is the only material that keeps horses dry and comfortable because it combines hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers in a composite structure that is unique in the industry.
The Air Release Gel Pad is a solid hexagonal cell structure that allows the air to circulate over the back. Flexible gel works in synergy with the horse’s movement. It provides non-slip security with low profile that maximizes absorption and minimizes the bulk under the saddle.
This three-in-one gel pad combines a riser built in the front, back or middle, with non-slip and shock-absorbing properties. The solid-gel structure allows natural compression, adapting to the shape of the saddle and allowing the air to move. The anatomic shape of the pad helps support the saddle during oscillations. Riser is the best solution to balance every kind of saddle.
The most striking features of these products are their new gel structure and their innovative, horizontal airflow pattern. This new gel design provides a multitude of little bulges with lateral holes permitting an even more effective, horizontally directed air circulation and increased shock absorption. Besides creating a cushion effect every time they are compressed, the bulges generate a flow of refreshing air that keeps the back of the horse perfectly dry. Moreover, the new open bulge structure will enable us to use less material, resulting in a substantial decrease of the gel pad weight (almost 20% less compared to previous Air Release pads).
The massage pad is the evolution of the gel pad riser. The solid structure of their pillar-shaped elements provides a special massage effect, resulting in improved blood circulation throughout the horse’s back muscles. The pillar-shaped elements, with the non-slip feature and shock-absorbing properties, allow the air to circulate over the back due to their continuous movement.
The Long Panel Soft Gel Pad is a non-toxic, anallergic amortizing product used also in the hospital for decubitus problems. This extremely lightweight gel pad can be used directly on the horse’s back, it’s shock-absorbing and anti-slip. This gel contains in its chemical-physics structure a mineral and purity oil with cicatrizing and eutrophic properties. It is made for saddles whit a long panel, like western and endurance saddles.
