The Acavallo Jumping Close Contact Memory Foam Half Pad has shaped withers and a 3D spacer spine, with the Extreme Grip silicone system for a consistently stable position in the saddle. The memory foam padding gives excellent shock absorption and even pressure distribution, even during the most intense activity.

The bamboo fibre lining has natural moisture-wicking and thermal regulation properties. The 3D Spacer Spine insert fits the shape of the horse's back, relieving pressure on the spine, improving saddle stability and promoting elasticity, resistance to twisting and ventilation.
