Hacking Horses Over the Holidays

The holiday season brings quieter schedules, crisp winter mornings, and the perfect opportunity to enjoy some quality time with your horse. This season, elevate your holiday hacking experience with the innovative Aloga Saddle Pad and our luxurious Aloga Wool Blanket.

Riding during the holiday season can be restorative for both you and your horse. During competition season it can be hard to find the time to really enjoy a laid back hack. However, winter riding can come with its challenges, such as fluctuating temperatures, unpredictable weather, and maintaining your horse's comfort before and after riding. The Aloga saddle pad and wool blanket are designed with this in mind, offering practical solutions that blend style, functionality, and quality.

The Aloga saddle pad is a must-have for winter hacking. Designed in collaboration with our Team Riders these saddle pads are composed with advanced moisture-wicking technology, helping draw away sweat from the skin and working to keep your horse dry and comfortable even during longer rides. The saddle pad also provides excellent cushioning to protect your horse’s back, which is especially important when riding on uneven terrain. With its sleek design and easy to wash fabrics, the Aloga saddle pad is both functional and long wearing.

On colder days, your horse’s muscles need extra care to warm up and cool down properly to avoid stiffness. The Aloga Wool blanket is perfect for this purpose. It provides superior warmth and breathability, helping to wick away moisture to keep your horse snug. Its elegant design ensures your horse looks stylish as they recover from their ride. This blanket is also ideal for use while grooming or during transport to holiday events.
