Acavallo Wither Free Gel & Memory Foam Pad with 3D Spacer Spine Free

Spacer fabric is a highly technical material designed to distribute weight, allow maximum air flow which benefits the skin and provides a healthy skin and muscle tone supporting blood circulation. It is also designed to disperse shear and direct pressure, ideal for sensitive and cold backed horses. This material prevent heat build-up, allows consistent air circulation, provides faster sweat absorption and efficient evaporation. The fabric is easy to clean under running water and can be reused immediately because of its ability to dry fast, with only a shakeout required! If machine washing is needed, it can be done at low temperatures with a mild soap.

Memory Foam (an open-cell variety of flexible polyurethane foam) was first commercialized during the mid-60’s as a result of NASA’s AMES Research Center to improve the safety of aircraft cushions. This material is characterized by slow recovery after compression. Its ability to closely contour to shapes allows surface pressure to be distributed over a wide area. Other characteristics include its ability to dampen vibration as well as absorb shocks.

This product also reacts to body temperature, softening and adjusts more easily to body contours. The pad can be machine washed (30 degrees) or by hand in a bucket of water with little detergent. Remove hairs from the pad with a brash before to wash it, Do not tumble dry. Do not expose to direct heat or strong sunlight, allow to dry naturally

Extremely lightweight, the Acavallo soft gel pad can be used directly on the horse’s back. Acavallo gel has a remarkable ability to absorb shocks, is suitable for any type of saddle and fits perfectly to the horse’s back. The unique feature of Acavallo gel is that it is sticky, which is the reason why all riders love it. After washing, it gets sticky again, provided that the instructions below are followed. It has the ability to allow the skin to breathe while maintaining contact with the saddle, thanks to an excellent shock-absorbing non-slip layer. A thoroughly elastic stretch product, it can be cut to the desired shape (riders often cut it off half an inch shorter so that it is not visible under the saddle). It prevents any unwanted movement of the saddle, backwards, forwards and sidewards. A real asset if the saddles rotate on the ‘rounder’ horses & ponies.
