The Acavallo Jumping Close Contact Memory Foam Half Pad has shaped withers and a 3D spacer spine, with memory foam that reduces its thickness at pressure points for correct weight distribution under the saddle. The memory foam sits in a suede covering and forms a cushion between the saddle and the horse's back that absorbs shocks and limits vibrations and friction.

The 3D material insert along the spine allows high freedom of movement and maximises air recirculation, and the shaped withers area protects the withers from pressure. The anatomical shape follows any English saddle and keeps the position and contact between horse and rider.
