What is the must have product loved by every single one of our Team Riders? While each Aloga rider and groom have their own individual top choices when it comes to our coolers, sheets and turnouts, the Pro Stable blanket is a consistent must have with our international riders. Here’s why leading professionals in the sport choose this blanket for their top performers every time.
Designed by Riders, Tested by Professionals
Aloga Equestrian was born from within showjumping itself. Founded by the international Olympic Showjumper Bertram Allen & family the brand was created to solve the problems they were facing blanketing their own horses on a daily basis. The Pro Stable Blanket was created to offer an easy to use, straight forward horse blanket with performance and function at its core. Tested and refined in the demanding environment of Aloga stables, where horses are rugged, washed, clipped, and travelled all year round it’s this real-world testing that ensured developing a stable blanket that meet these daily demands. Every strap, buckle, and seam has been considered from the perspective of how our team are using these products continuously, at home, while traveling or at international competition venues. Olympic medalist and international dressage rider Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour, celebrated for her precision and deep connection with her horses shares ‘I absolutely love the Aloga rugs. They are the best blankets I’ve ever had.’ Using the range of Aloga blankets across her stable of horses, the Pro Stable blanket is a staple choice for Cathrine and team.
Built to Last
Durability is a must in any yard. The Aloga Pro Stable Blanket is constructed with a tough 1000D ripstop polyester outer fabric, making it resistant to wear, tear, and the kind of everyday use that comes with stable life. Hardware such as front closures and surcingles are constructed from sturdy, anti-rust hard wear. Even after countless washes or damp winter mornings, the blanket maintains its integrity. Yet despite this strength, these blankets are cut to suit a range of equine body shapes and are finished in sleek design in classic colour options, a combination that appeals equally to riders with a keen eye for presentation and to grooms who need reliable functionality.
Comfort and Coat Health
Our design team at Aloga has also paid particular attention to what matters most: the comfort of the horse. The Pro Stable Blanket features a shine enhancing lining that’s both anti-static and anti-bacterial, helping to keep the horse’s coat smooth, healthy, and free from irritation. It also provides full breathability, so your horse stays warm without overheating. This detail makes a huge difference when dealing with clipped horses or those stabled in variable temperatures. For riders, this means horses stay in top condition; for grooms, it means fewer issues with rubs, sweating, or post-workout dampness.
Fit that stays in place
Every groom knows the frustration of finding a blanket that slipped, twisted, or rubbed. Aloga tackled this issue with a design that fits securely without restricting movement. The dual front closures allow for a more tailored fit across different body types, while the crossed surcingles and tail strap keep the blanket perfectly in place without the need for leg straps. Leg straps can be a cause of irritation and in some case can pose as a danger if they are not fastened correctly. By positioning the surcingles at optimal heights and angles Aloga has designed blankets that stay in place securely with less straps and less fuss. Horses can lie down, roll, and relax in their stables without the blanket shifting or bunching. It’s one of those small details that, over time, makes an enormous difference in both horse comfort and stable efficiency.
Steffi Wolf, longtime groom of Multiple Olympic gold medalist and legendary dressage rider Isabell Werth, shared what she loved when using the 400g Pro Stable blanket ‘It never slides to the sides. When it gets really cold we can also put extra (liner) at loops on the neck of this blanket which is top!’
Adaptable for Every Season
Another reason professionals choose the Aloga Pro Stable Blankets is their versatility. The range is available in different weights: from lightweight 0g & 100g options for mild conditions or climates, medium 200g as temperatures drop, to cozy heavy weight 400g for deep winter. Liner and hood loops as a standard design feature across each weight means that the same base blanket can be adjusted as the temperature changes by incorporating an Aloga liner or Pro Stable hood, reducing the need for multiple separate rugs. For large yards managing dozens of horses, this flexibility saves time, storage space, and money. It’s a smart, sustainable approach that aligns with how top stables operate offering fewer, better products that serve multiple purposes.
Madelene Nord works with some of the world’s top horses as show groom for Peder Fredricson. Madelene chooses to use hoods with the Aloga Stable Pro blanket on her horses during the colder months. ‘Now in the winter time we are using the necks with the blankets. It is also important (the hoods) are not too tight because they can start rubbing the mane. Also having a nice shiny, smooth lining material on inside of the hood allows for it to easily move with the horse and they are comfortable in every position – if they want to stretch down the hood will follow or if they are standing with their head up a little higher.’ For MadeIene it is all about happy horses, ‘I like the Aloga blankets because they fit the horses really well and they are happy. If they are happy, then I’m happy.’
A Practical Luxury for the Modern Stable
The Aloga Pro Stable Blanket strikes the balance of combining premium materials and refined design with the practicality and robustness that is needed for real-life stable use. It’s not just about appearances, though the sleek aesthetic certainly helps capture attention from competitions or when clients walk through the barn. It’s about efficiency, durability, and welfare, the three things professional riders and grooms value most.
For those managing horses day in and day out, the right blanket is more than just another piece of gear. It’s a tool that keeps the horse healthy, the workflow smooth, and the team confident. And that’s why, across showgrounds and stables alike, the Aloga Pro Stable Blanket is fast becoming the go-to choice for equestrians who demand the very best from every piece of their equipment.
