Acavallo Close Contact Pocket Gel & Memory Foam 1/2 Pad W/risers

ACAVALLO CLOSE CONTACT COMPENSATOR IN MEMORY FOAM WITH RAISES The Acavallo close contact compensator in memory foam with risers combines the non-slip and shock-absorbing properties of the classic Gel Acavallo models with the shock-proof properties of memory foam and with two pockets that allow you to easily add and remove layers of foam. The “Close contact” shape is designed to be less visible under the saddle than standard memory foam. A great strength of the Gel is that it avoids any unwanted movement of the saddle in any direction: forwards, backwards and sideways. Furthermore, the Gel is able to compensate for small imperfections in the horse's back, making it suitable even for slightly more "rounded" backs. The anatomical cut of the compensator and the technical characteristics of the memory foam allow the pad to adapt and shape itself deeply to the horse's silhouette, also allowing surface pressure to be distributed over a large area. Added to these characteristics are the ability to absorb shocks, dampen vibrations and regulate the horse's body temperature. Each Saddlepad is equipped with a set of four layers of high-density foam that allow the saddle to be adapted in cases where a front or rear rise is required, accommodating changes in the horses' conformations. Designed to fit any style and size of English saddle , the compensator can be used alone or combined with any traditional square Saddlepad . The Classic Gel Acavallo ® is hypoallergenic, non-toxic and does not react negatively in contact with the skin, characteristics that allow the compensator to be used directly in contact with it. The Gel can also be cut and therefore adapted, if necessary, to any type of saddle .
