Benefits

Already shaped to your horse’s top line, allowing ample wither space. Memory foam ensures that pressure and weight are not continual, but yielding. Excellent for all sports requiring lateral flexion. The maximum defense against back pain, yet still thin to maintain “feel”. Fits like a glove.

Our Four-Density Solution, plus the performance enhancement (PE) panel, combined with fine finishing details including genuine leather butt joints, nylon bindings and aeration perforations, provides the Ultimate in Saddle Pads, benefiting both horse and rider!

Shock absorbent: it’s not shocking!

• Saves the backs of both horse and rider
• Promotes blood circulation (the slow release memory of the open cell foam creates a gentle massaging action on the horse’s muscle structure)

Improves saddle fit: Fit for Excellence!

• Contracts at pressure points, fills gaps
• Enhances the saddle gullet (protecting the spine)
• Cutback allows wither relief
• More comfort for a saddle which fits perfectly
• Allows one saddle to be used on multiple horses
• Compensates for the changing horses back (different levels of conditioning, natural development over the season and development over the horse’s lifetime)

Thin: Thin is important!

• 4 different material densities creates a thinner pad with greater shock absorption than a pad twice as thick
  allows more room for free movement of the scapula (shoulder blade)

Reversible: Effective & Stylish

• New Zealand wool on one side, closed cell shock absorbing foam on the other
• Use either side against the horse; it’s your personal preference!

Cavallo Technology

Patented Nitrex Closed-Cell Foam:Non-PVC foam that has low resilience and low penetration value, resulting in excellent shock absorption, insulation, cushioning and rebound (G-value energy return). Far superior to traditional foams.

• soft and lightweight
• water-absorption-free

Open-Cell Memory Foam to enhance saddle fit:

• releases as the rider shifts weight to vary pressure and gently massage the muscles, promoting healthy circulation
• evenly distributes rider and saddle weight on the muscles
• contracts where the saddle is tight and remains full where the saddle has less contact.

New Zealand Merino Wool:100% Merino Wool carded and consolidated into a dense material. The resulting cloth is then heat-bonded to enhance dimensional stability, durability and abrasion resistance.
high directional stability to maintain shape

• Resilient
• Durable
• wicks away moisture
• breathable and insulating

Meet Emma Massingale - Liberty Rider

I bought my mare as a 2 year old unknowing she had canker in all her feet, I'd never heard of canker. For 4 years now we have been battling this horrible infection/disease that no one really knows about. With my farrier and simple treatment it usually clears up in May and then comes back around October, October is the start of rain and mud here in the UK, My Cavallo boots have been a god send to me not only for riding in but in enabling my mare to go out in the field and live as much of a normal life at the time when the canker returns. I can put cotton wool in the hole in her frog put her Cavallos on and turn her out for the day even in the rain, by the time I remove the boots in the evening and pull out the cotton wool the bit furthest in the hole is dry and still medicated. Without these boot my horse would be stuck in her stable 24/7 and we would both be miserable, so thanks for a great boot that not only keeps her foot dryer keeps in the medication but is also very easy to put on, remove and clean for the morning after.
