Acavallo's all-new saddle pad is the result of recent advances in gel shock absorption and aerodynamics. The innovative structure of the gel overlay encourages horizontal air circulation with a multitude of diametrically opposed contours in the surface with lateral holes allowing even more efficient targeted air circulation and increased shock absorption on the horse's back. The contoured voids create a cushioning effect every time they are compressed, generating a refreshing flow of air that keeps the horse's back perfectly dry. This new gel cell structure means that less material is used in the manufacture, resulting in a substantial reduction in the overall weight of the cushion (almost 20% less than previous Air release cushions).
This Front Riser version of the Respira pad creates uniform elevation over the main weight-bearing areas of the shoulder, and is more subtle and graduated than previous Acavallo gel riser pads. This profile also makes it more compatible with a wider variety of close-contact saddles.
The active soft gel can be machine washed (30 degrees) or by hand in a bucket of water with a little detergent (Fairy Liquid works great).
