Innovation for horse & rider

Acavallo stands as a leading Italian innovator in the equestrian world. Established in 2003, Acavallo has revolutionized both horse and rider comfort with their comprehensive range of products. Renowned globally, particularly for their therapeutic gel pads which utilize advanced materials also used in the health care industry, you know that when you choose an Acavallo product for your horse that you'll be receiving the best. 

Beyond their ever popular range of gel pads, Acavallo has diversified into memory foam pads which ensure optimal comfort, fit and performance. The brand's commitment to excellence also extends to their range of horse protection, which includes tendon and fetlock boots as well as transport boots and tail protection. 

Recognizing the needs of riders, Acavallo have cleverly developed the much-celebrated seat saver range, which are designed to enhance comfort and stability in the saddle. For those seeking further comfort, Acavallo offer a range of cleverly designed stirrups which will help with issues such as knee or hip pain. 

Bridles and horse tack is one of Acavallo's latest developments. Crafted from fine Italian leather, the bridles are all anatomic with an extra wide, incredibly softly padded head piece to ensure as much comfort as possible for your horse. The wide range of horse rugs is also a testament to Acavallo's commitment to horses comfort, ensuring your horse remains cozy and protected against the weather, whatever the conditions.

Made in Italy

Acavallo's products are conceived, designed and built entirely in Italy. The materials are of Italian origin, to guarantee the quality and authenticity of the products.

Materials

  • Acavallo Therapeutic Gel: Extremely lightweight, the Acavallo gel has a remarkable ability to absorb shocks, and is safe to use directly against the horse's skin. The Acavallo gel is antibacterial, non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, and doesn't absorb fluid, odor and bacteria. It's very sticky and remains sticky after washing. It's machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius or can be rinsed with running water. Being a thoroughly elastic stretch product, the Acavallo gel can be cut to the desired shape. Many riders choose to cut it half an inch so that it is not visible under the saddle. To take care of the Acavallo gel, please do no tumble dry, do not use harsh detergent, and do not expose to direct heat or strong sunlight.
  • Sheepskin: Humans have been using sheepskin since ancient times because of its comfort and protective qualities. Most sheep offer 3000 fibers per square inch and each fiber is like a tiny shock absorber, which makes sheepskin the best padding from nature. Sheepskin also has the ability to absorb sweat immediately and transfer it into the air seven times faster than synthetic material. The Acavallo wool is carefully selected in order to have a very high density. Sheepskin can be machine washed (max. 30 degrees Celsius). To take care of the sheepskin, please remove any dry dirt with a brush before washing. Rub some human hair conditioner into the sheepskin before washing. Do not tumble dry and do not expose to direct heat.
  • Memory Foam: an open cell variety of flexible polyurethane foam. It was first commercialized in the mid-60s as a result of NASA's AMES Research Center's effort to improve the safety of aircraft cushions. The material is characterized by slow recovery after compression. Its ability to closely contour to shapes allows surface pressure to be distributed over a wide area. Other characteristics of memory foam include its abilities to dampen vibration and to absorb shock. Memory foam also reacts to body temperature and will soften and adjust to body contours.
  • Dri-Lex: Dri-Lex is a fabric that combines hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers in a composite structure that is unique in the equestrian equipment industry. The inner layer of the Dri-Lex stays dry, while the outer layer acts as a micro-reservoir for sweat. Then the moisture will literally vaporize.
  • Leather: Acavallo chooses only the finest leather from the best Italian tanneries. Only eco-sustainable leather and hide are selected. The complex selection process gives the leather a natural velvety feel.
