Acavallo Sublime Zero Impact Half Pads — Which One Do You Need?
The new Acavallo Sublime Zero Impact half pad range is designed to improve comfort, stability and shock absorption under the saddle. Each pad features high-density memory foam, silicone grip inserts and a breathable perforated structure to help distribute pressure and support the horse’s back.
Sublime Zero Impact Pad | Flat
The Flat is the best option when your saddle already fits well and does not need altering. It provides cushioning, shock absorption and stability without changing the balance of the saddle.
Best for: everyday use, competition, added comfort and pressure relief.
Sublime Zero Impact Pad | Slim Flat
The Slim Flat offers the same protective concept in a thinner, lower-profile design. It is ideal for riders who want protection and grip, but with less bulk and a closer contact feel.
Best for: close-contact saddles, sensitive horses, riders who prefer a minimal feel.
Sublime Zero Impact Pad | Front Riser
The Front Riser is designed to lift the front of the saddle. It can help where the saddle sits slightly low at the wither/pommel area, improving balance and helping reduce pressure at the front.
Best for: saddles dropping in front, high-withered horses, horses changing shape.
Sublime Zero Impact Pad | Rear Riser
The Rear Riser lifts the back of the saddle. It is useful where the saddle sits low behind or tips the rider backwards, helping to improve balance and weight distribution.
Best for: saddles sitting low at the cantle, improving rider balance, temporary fit adjustments.
