FAQ

KAVALLERIE gel pad works for both English and Western discipline. Many western riders claim that this saddle gel pad works perfectly fine with their saddles (you may check our amazon reviews) and provides essential cushioning but please be advised that this pad is mainly design for English saddles.

Nothing to worry about dirt, hair, and dust accumulating on the pad, it is because of its special TPR gel material, that makes the pad sticky on the first few days of use. This shock absorbent special Reiter gel makes the pad extremely pliable and impressionable to fit your horse/s back. Plus, you can just hose it off or dunk it in water bucket to easily clean the gel pad. No worries, as the stickiness will fade after multiple uses but will retain its anti-slip quality.

We will recommend KAVALLERIE Gel Pad Middle Riser. We already received same queries before from riders who have horses with deeply swayed back associated with horse muscle atrophy and Middle Riser with central riser pad and non-slip, shock absorbing properties works wonder to them. It is anatomically shaped to help support the saddle on dipped or sway backed horses. It provides the essential cushioning effect in the middle area of the saddle where pressure is often concentrated. Still, we would like to remind that if the swayed back is not severe you can opt between Middle Riser or Rear Riser model.

No, our gel pad is a non-staining pad, so it won't leave any stains on your saddle. The oily frame on the cardboard is not a discoloration from the pad but is oil secreted by the special TPR gel material. We assure you that this is a natural phenomenon. Don't worry.

We actually call it Rear Riser and front riser. The rear riser is thicker on the rear or back area of the pad or underneath the cantle area of the saddle, the back support is one inch thick. As for the front riser, it is the other way around, it is actually one inch thick in the front area or right under the pommel area of the saddle.
