Acavallo Gel & Sheepskin Girth Saver, anatomically shaped, size L
The ACAVALLO® girth savers are in line with the company’s philosophy focusing on the special needs of the horse and its well-being.
These products are a real innovation, although based on only two simple and well-known materials: Acavallo® gel and sheepskin.
The softness, lightness and delicacy of the sheepskin, which provides perfect protection for sensitive skin areas, are combined with Acavallo® gel with all of its outstanding properties: anti-slip, shock absorption, anatomical shape, durability, resistance but nevertheless also a high degree of flexibility.
The girth saver has an anatomically shaped profile which enhances the freedom of movement and comfort of the horse. Shock-absorbing therapeutic gel combined with medical sheepskin eliminates the risk of pinching and relieves pressure on sensitive internal organs of the horse, while permitting an increased blood circulation and supply of oxygen.
The thickness of the gel is a determining factor and had to be arranged to meet the anatomical and physical needs of the horse. Based on extensive testing, we determined that the correct thickness of the gel layer had to be about 6 mm. Only in the middle part, where pressure and friction forces are higher, the gel is slightly thicker.
Sheepskin is a natural material. It cannot cause allergies, is very soft and delicate, and perfectly suited to prevent chafing, abrasions and blisters.
Cleaning the girth savers is very simple and requires little time. Water is sufficient for cleaning the gel material, while the sheepskin should be washed with a mild soap.
