This Shaped therapeutic anti slip gel pad is made thicker than the light weight pad - giving it a dual pupose both anti-slip and shock absorbing. It can be used directly onto the skin or between a numnah and the saddle. This special gel is non-toxic hyperallergenic and will not react adversley to the skin. It will stop any unwanted movement of the saddle both back & forth and side to side. A real asset if saddles rotate on the 'rounder' horses & ponies!

These pads are shaped and moulded to the saddle with a slightly thinner depth of gel running down the centre of the pad allowing the gel to sit up in the gullet rather than pushing down on the wither and spine.This gel can also be cut to the size of the saddle if needed.

The active soft gel can be machine washed (30 degrees) or by hand in a bucket of water with a little detergent.

The tacky nature of these pads ensure minimal movement either laterally or back to front so they are in effect Non-Slip pads as well. They can be used in conjunction with the the Acavallo Shaped Gel Pads or can be placed on top of any numnah, half pad or square. Easily washed in a bucket and almost indestructible!

They can be used on top of a thin cotton square or straight onto the horses back. Available in three sizes Small, Medium & Large and four colour combinations.
