Acavallo creates modern horsewear and rider equipment built around its renowned gel technology—prioritising shock absorption, pressure distribution and non-slip stability for everyday schooling and competition.
Acavallo pads and accessories are designed to absorb impact, reduce rubbing and help the saddle stay quiet, supporting a softer back and steadier contact without adding bulk.
From classic non-slip gel pads to withers-free, hexagonal and memory-foam combinations, the range helps prevent saddle movement, spread load and fine-tune balance with front/back risers and spine-relief profiles.
Gel-Out and Gel-In seat savers provide extra security and shock absorption, designed to stabilise the saddle and relieve pressure so you can ride in a deeper, more relaxed position.
Acavallo’s Arena AluPro stirrups feature a patented lateral-opening arm for quick release, combining lightweight construction with a supportive tread for confident, all-round use.
Soft-gel bit guards and gel guards for sensitive areas help prevent pinching and friction, keeping the bit centred and comfortable for clearer, kinder communication.
Most gel pads can be rinsed or machine-washed at 30 °C with mild soap; air-dry away from direct heat. Wipe stirrups and gel accessories after use and store pads dry to maintain grip and longevity.
Explore our Acavallo selection—gel pads and risers, seat savers, safety stirrups, bit guards and more—ready for fast dispatch and backed by rider-led advice.
What does Acavallo gel actually do?
It cushions impact, disperses pressure and adds non-slip stability under the saddle, helping reduce rubbing and keeping the saddle settled across paces.
Which pad should I choose?
Pick classic non-slip gel for everyday stability; withers-free or spine-relief shapes to lift pressure; hexagonal/vented or memory-foam combinations for extra airflow and comfort; use front/back risers to adjust balance.
Are Gel-Out seat savers competition-legal?
Many riders use them for training and hacking; competition rules vary by discipline, so check your federation’s current equipment list before you enter.
How do I wash Acavallo gel products?
Close Velcro, wash at 30 °C with mild soap, avoid aggressive detergents and heat, and air-dry. Wipe gel bit guards and guards by hand and store pads dry.
