Why Choose an Acavallo Seat Saver?

Acavallo seat savers are designed to help riders feel more secure and comfortable in the saddle, especially during long sessions or demanding work. They use a medical-grade, shock-absorbing gel to distribute weight evenly across the seat and reduce concussion through the spine and pelvis.

All models are non-slip, breathable and easy to fit using discreet, secure fastening straps. The slim profile ensures they don’t interfere with rider position or saddle fit, making them ideal for both training and competition use.

Types of Acavallo Seat Saver

We stock the full range of Acavallo’s innovative seat saver designs to suit all preferences and saddle styles.

Acavallo Gel Out Seat Saver

The Acavallo gel out seat saver features the gel layer on the outside, directly beneath the rider. This maximises grip and shock absorption, helping the rider stay stable and secure—especially useful for jumping, cross-country or green horses. The sticky surface improves rider confidence while protecting the seat bones and coccyx from pressure and impact.

Acavallo Gel In Seat Saver

With the Acavallo gel in seat saver, the gel layer is built into the seat saver’s core, offering a smoother outer surface while still delivering the same cushioning and pressure relief. This model is ideal for riders who prefer a more traditional feel in the saddle with enhanced comfort and support underneath.

Acavallo Ortho Coccyx Seat Saver

The Acavallo ortho coccyx seat saver includes a central cut-out section to reduce direct pressure on the coccyx (tailbone). Recommended for riders recovering from injury or suffering from lower back or pelvic discomfort, this design relieves pressure where it's most needed while still providing stability and shock absorption. Available in gel in and gel out variations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better: gel in or gel out seat saver?

Both offer excellent comfort and pressure relief. The gel out seat saver gives maximum grip, making it ideal for jumping or young horses.  Think "gel on the outside" for added stick!  The gel in seat saver has a smoother finish while still offering internal shock absorption, ideal for riders who prefer a more traditional feel.

Will a seat saver change the feel of my saddle?

No, Acavallo seat savers are designed to maintain close contact and rider feel. They are slimline and do not significantly alter your position or the saddle’s fit, especially when matched to the correct saddle type (jump, GP or dressage).

Are Acavallo seat savers competition legal?

Yes, many Acavallo seat savers are permitted under British Dressage and FEI rules. Always check with your discipline or venue to confirm compliance before competition.

How do I clean my Acavallo seat saver?

Most Acavallo seat savers can be wiped clean with warm water and mild soap. Do not machine wash or expose the gel to high heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
