Acavallo Stirrups (Arena Alupro, Opera & AluPlus)

Acavallo's high-end aluminium safety stirrups — including the Arena Alupro, Opera Composite and AluPlus 2.0 — feature engineered safety mechanisms designed to release the rider's foot in a fall. They're a popular choice for jumping, eventing and everyday training where rider safety is non-negotiable. Browse the full stirrup irons collection for matching stirrup leathers.

Acavallo Gel Pads (Active Pony, Therapy & Anti-Slip)

Acavallo gel pads are hypoallergenic, non-toxic and shock-absorbing — used directly on the horse's back to reduce concussion, improve saddle stability and prevent unwanted movement. Bestsellers include the Active Soft Gel Pad, the Anti-Slip Gel Pad, the Piuma Air Release Pad and the Gel & Front Riser. Explore the wider gel pads, half pads and wither pads ranges to compare options.

Acavallo Seat Savers (Ortho-Pubis & Ortho-Coccyx)
