Acavallo’s history begins with a shared passion for riding.

Mauro Benetti and Monica Speroni, the company owners, partners in life and work, met in the 1980s frequenting both the equestrian field: Mauro for work,

while Monica was following her passion for show jumping, competing with young horses.

This meeting gave rise first to their love and then, in 1987, to the idea of combining their mutual knowledge to set up a business that would comply with

their values: passion and respect for riding.

Acavallo was founded in 2003 and quickly became a company of excellence in the sector, internationally recognized for the reliability of its products.

In 2013, with the joining of the Benetti family’s second generation in the company, Acavallo implemented customer care and customer service

departments, with the aim of meeting the customers’ demands and needs. Like her mother, Vittoria Benetti also has a past as a horsewoman, and grew up

in the company absorbing the technical know-how passed from her parents. Vittoria also coordinates the marketing and communication department.

Acavallo boasts a 360° knowledge in horse technical equipment.

The flagship is featured by products that use therapeutic gel as feedstock, the same used in health care to promote the health of patients. From the

combination of the gel with natural materials, such as sheepskin, originates Sheepskin & Gel Pad, a saddle pad used by many riders, first of all award-

winning Charlotte Dujardin, testimonial of excellence alongside Scott Brash.

In 2014 the company expanded its range of products in the market by launching the new silkscreened horse boots and the stirrup Opera. In the same year

revolutionary Gel & Sheepskin Girth Saver was presented to the exhibition Spoga Horse: it is the confirmation of the company’s focus on products for the

horse welfare and protection.

The products in the catalog are a hundred and include saddle pads, saddle covers, girths, stirrups, horse boots and many gel accessories.

Acavallo is present in over 40 countries and has numerous patents, demonstrating the high standards of innovation pursued.

Materials 09

Evolution of the Memory Foam Gel Pad

Acavallo Therapeutic GelExtremely lightweight, the Acavallo soft gel pad can be used directly on the horse’s back. Acavallo gel has a remarkable ability to absorb shocks,

is suitable for any type of saddle and fits perfectly to the horse’s back. The unique feature of Acavallo gel is that it is sticky, which is the reason why all

riders love it. After washing, it gets sticky again, provided that the instructions below are followed. It has the ability to allow the skin to breathe while

maintaining contact with the saddle, thanks to an excellent shock-absorbing non-slip layer. A thoroughly elastic stretch product, it can be cut to the desired

shape (riders often cut it of half an inch so that it is not visible under the saddle). It blocks any unwanted movement of the saddle, backwards, forwards

and sidewards. A real asset if the saddles rotate on the ‘rounder’ horses & ponies.

Skidproof, antibacterial, non-toxic, hypo allergenic, non-absorbent of fluids, smell and bacteria. Machine-washable at 30 degrees or by simply running

under water using mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents. Do not tumble dry. Do not expose to direct heat or strong sunlight. Allow to dry naturally.

Sheepskin Man has been using sheepskin since ancient times because of its comfort and protective qualities. Most of the muttons offer 3000 fibers per square inch,

and each fiber is like a tiny shock absorber that makes sheepskin probably the best emollient padding in nature. The pile of those special tanned sheepskins

is 30 mm. The Acavallo wool is selected in order to have a very high density. Sheepskin will not give off an electrical charge. Synthetic seat covers

are a 100% insulator of electrical energy. All natural sheepskin is a partial insulator providing you an undisturbed release of static electricity created by

the natural friction of your body and the environment. Sheepskin is able to absorb sweat immediately and can submit it in to the air seven times faster than

synthetics. Machine-washable (30 degrees) or by hand simply using water. Remove any dried mud or sweat with a brush before washing. Rub human hair

conditioner into the lambskin before washing. Do not tumble dry. Do not expose to direct heat.

Memory FoamMemory Foam (an open-cell variety of flexible polyurethane foam) was first commercialized during the mid-60’s as a result of NASA’s AMES Research

Center to improve the safety of aircraft cushions. This material is characterized by slow recovery after compression. Its ability to closely contour to shapes

allows surface pressure to be distributed over a wide area. Other characteristics include its ability to dampen vibration as well as absorb shocks.

This product also reacts to body temperature softening and adjusts more easily to body contours.

Dri-LexDri-Lex is a fabric that combine hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers in a composite structure that is unique in the industry. The inner layer stays dry, while

the outer layer acts as a micro-reservoir for sweat, and the moisture is literally vaporized. Dri-Lex fabrics are engineered to enhance nature’s work.

They rapidly move moisture through performance equipment to keep the body dry and comfortable.

Charlotte Dujardin 11

The hidden secrets of a global championBorn on 13 July 1985 in London, Charlotte Dujardin is a world dressage champion.

She started riding at the age of two with her sister’s horses. At three she achieved the 2nd place at the Pony Club show jumping competition. She used

to show horses and ponies and, partly thanks to the support of her family, won the Horse of the Year Show and the Royal International Horse Show at

Hickstead.

At thirteen, after encouragement from her trainer Debbie Thomas, she embraced dressage with a horse, Fernandez, which she had inherited from her

grandmother.

In 2007 her mother Jane met British dressage rider and coach Carl Hester and convinced him to give her daughter lessons. She began working as a groom

in Hester’s yard in Newent, Gloucestershire, where she has since remained.

She competed with the gelding Valegro, which was entrusted to her to be trained, in her first dressage Grand Prix event in 2011.

Since then the pair won many prestigious competitions as the European Dressage Championship in Rotterdam and the FEI World Cup Grand Prix in London

in 2011.

Again, with Valegro, she won the 2012 World Cup Freestyle event in London and in August of the same year they won both the team and the individual

dressage gold medal at the 2012 Games of the XXX Olympiad.

In 2013 she was awarded the gold at the FEI European Championships in Herning.

In 2014 she won the Dressage World Cup in Lyon and the year after in Las Vegas.

Again in 2015 she earned the gold in the freestyle and special dressage events, and silver in the team event at the FEI European Championships in Aachen.

She became the first dressage rider to hold the World Cup, as well as other world and European titles. She was also an Olympian winner.

She joined Acavallo team in 2012. She uses the Acavallo products in training and in competitions.

In particular, she uses a Sheepskin Just Gel Pad under her saddle and a Shaped Gel Pad directly on Valegro’s back. About those products she said: “I love

my Acavallo gel pad for the comfort and freedom it gives Valegro. He enjoys the therapeutic gel pads under his saddle and the beautiful lambskin adds that

special touch, as well as a super soft shock absorbing layer. I wouldn’t be without them”.

Scott Brash 13

The flying scotsmanScott Brash is currently the world number one show jumper born on 23 November 1985 in Peebles, Scotland.

He began riding with his own pony at the age of seven, and at ten years old did his first show jumping competition with The Pony Club.

Brash’s top horse is Hello Sanctos, currently the world number one horse, with whom he has been riding since late 2011. He competed as part of the

British Team at 2012 Games of the XXX Olympiad in London and won the gold medal in the team event.

He won the World Cup Grand Prix in Florida in 2012.

In 2013 Scott Brash won the team gold and individual bronze medal at the Hearing FEI European Championships. He was also awarded a Member of the

Order of the British Empire (MBE).

In November of the same year, Scott sealed victory in the Grand Prix at the Longines Global Champions Tour in Doha.

In 2014, Scott became the first rider ever to win three Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in the same season, in Cannes, Cascais–Estoril and

London.

In the same year, he won the Rolex Grand Prix in Geneva.

In May 2015, Brash and Hello Sanctos won the Rolex Grand Prix titles in Aachen and Calgary. This made him the first rider to win show jumping’s Rolex

Grand Slam and the sport’s biggest individual prize.

Again, he won three legs of the LGCT Grand Prix in 2015, and has topped the Longines World Rankings since 2013.

Scott Brash joined Acavallo team in 2015. The company does not consider him just an ambassador but also a collaborator who can help to bring innovation

in existing products and new ones.

53GEL GIRTHSAcavallo has designed and made two lines of Gel Girth, in both cases, paying attention to three keywords: innovation, safety and attention to details. You can choose the one that suits your needs.

Gel & PVC Studguard Girth

Innovation, safety and attention to details are the key words to describe this girth.This comfort girth is completely made of composite material (TPU) and eco leather, and equipped with the new Acavallo®Gel Padding System. The special design of this gel panel eliminates the risk of pinching and relieves pressure on the sensitive internal organs of your horse, also allowing an increased blood circulation and supply of oxygen. The arrangement of the individual gel padding elements has been developed to facilitate breathing and reduce transpiration by means of a sophisticated airflow pattern, preventing excessive heat accumulation even under high-performance conditions.Neither the smallest detail was left to chance during the development and the testing stages of this product. This applies in particular to the new and patented Acavallo® safety fastening hook, designed to eliminate the need for additional snap hooks, e.g. on the martingale, or for strap and buckle elements on the belly plate of the girth which always imply high risksof entangling and falling of the horse when jumping. In addition to this safety concern which we had in mind when developing this special hook – i.e. creating a smooth martingale/girth connection excluding any unnecessary, potential pointsof engagement of the horse shoe or hoof – ease of use was another main objective implemented in the design of this sturdyand long-life hook.Martingale fastening and removal has never been so easy.You can insertand remove the martingale/breastplate strap with ease with just a simple movement without having to loosen the saddle. The little closing tab (see illustrations), which is almost invisible and placed at the tip of the hook ensures maximum safety by preventing the martingale strap from being released accidentally.

The new girth saver is the example that Acavallo works for the horse and for its well-being. A real innovation basedon 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 also a high degree of flexibility. Our girth saver has an anatomically shaped profile, which enhances the freedom of movement and comfort of the horse.The thickness of the gel is a determining factor and was arranged to meet the anatomical and physical needs of the horse.Based on extensive testing, we determined that the correct thickness inside the girth had to be 5 mm. Only in the middle part,where pressure and friction forces are higher, the gel is slightly thicker.
