A superb, slimline anti-slip measure
Ultra-lightweight and shaped to fit the saddle. Place it directly against the back to stop both saddle and saddlecloth moving, or use under the saddle if the saddlecloth tends to slide out. For maximum saddle stability for cross-country or showjumping, sandwich the saddlecloth between two of these pads.
Perfect for increasing general saddle stability on the roly-poly Cob types or Pony. Also, useful for horses where the saddle has a tendency to slip forward.
Economy solution for muscle wastage or to alter saddle-fit
Favoured by saddle-fitters to raise the front of the saddle, reducing the damaging effects of pressure from the points of the tree. Perfect for filling in wither hollows on the older or high-withered horse. Will not slide back or down, and can be used alone or in conjunction with another pad or saddlecloth.
This extremely light weight gel pad is non toxic breathable product that can be used directly on the horses back or between numnah and saddle. It is very popular within the showing world as it is very good at stopping saddles from rolling side to side. It also helps stop saddles slipping up the neck and slipping backwards. The product can be cut with a pair of scissors for smaller saddles.

These Acavallo gel risers are the most advanced design on the market. The highly shock absorbent therapeutic gel from Italy are anatomically designed to fit the horse's back & saddle and relieve pressure.
The ‘Front Riser’ is particularly suited to horses with high withers or that have lost muscle and bulk at the top of the shoulder and below the wither. The pad has minimal depth over the centre so doesn’t increase pressure under the pommel. However, its unique honeycomb structure ensures the the main weight bearing areas are compensated. Traditional ‘wedge style’ risers that taper to the back of the saddle often pivot on the wither & spine increasing pressure under the front of the saddle as well as causing an unwanted 'rise' in the whole saddle.
The ‘Rear Riser’ has the same honeycomb structure to absorb and softly distribute the riders weight. It can be adjusted back & forward for effect. They can also be used together as an additional layer of absorbtion under the saddle.
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!
Available in Black & Transparent/Natural gel in one size (can be cut if required)

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. Show riders often cut it to half inch inside the profile of the saddle to appear as if there is nothing under the saddle - when in fact there is a very nice shock absorbing non-slip layer!
The active soft gel can be machine washed (30 degrees) or by hand in a bucket of water with a little detergent.

These high quality Half Pads are 100% natural Australian Merino lambskin - the wool is much denser & softer than the older sheep wool used in many rival numnahs. The spine is swept up at the wither relieving pressure on the spine and allowing air flow. Half Pads are best sellers because they can be used with any cut of saddle. They can be used on top of a thin cotton square or straight onto the horses back.
Button hole slits positioned on the front edge allows for neat combination with all LeMieux D-Ring saddle pads. This combination means the standard velcro straps on the Half Pad can be removed if desired.
