The special shape and composition of this pad relieves the sensitive withers area and helps to prevent problems by distributing weight evenly and improving the saddle fit. The high-tech combination of memory foam and Acavallo’s therapeutic soft gel provides not only a unique comfort to the horses’s back, but also ensures an optimal, secure positioning of the pad under the saddle through the adhesive effect of its gel surface. Memory foam absorbs shocks, eliminates rubbing and friction and distributes pressure evenly.
