FAQs — Gel Saddle Pads for Horses

Where should I place a gel pad — under or over the numnah?

Anti-slip gel pads go directly on the horse’s back. Shock-absorbing pads go between the numnah and saddle.

Are gel pads suitable for sensitive horses?

Yes. They help relieve pressure and discomfort when correctly fitted.

Can gel saddle pads help with saddle slipping?

Yes — especially non-slip styles like Acavallo Thin Skin Lightweight Gel Pad.

What’s the difference between a gel riser pad and a standard gel pad?

Risers lift the front or back of your saddle. Standard pads focus on pressure and shock absorption.

Can you clean Gel saddle pads?

Gel pads are easily hand-washed with soapy water, and some are even machine washable.
