PONY POWER: Behind the Aloga Pony Blanket Range

PONY POWER: Behind the Aloga Pony Blanket Range

We are going back to our roots at Aloga Equestrian. We know riding and competing ponies is where the magic begins. Our journey has taken us from humble beach rides to championship podiums. That’s why we’re so proud to announce the launch of our brand-new Pony Blanket Range, designed with the same level of performance, protection, and quality that we demand from all our products.

For us at Aloga Equestrian, this launch is about more than just great design and exceptional products in pony sizes — it’s about coming full circle.

A Full Circle Moment

Long before the global showjumping stage, our co-founders Bertram and Harry were pony riders with big ambitions. Those ambitions quickly turned into remarkable achievements. ‘Ponies were where it all began for us — they taught us how to ride, compete, and care. Some of our proudest memories are from our pony days, and launching this range feels like coming full circle, shares Bertram. In 2010, Bertram rode Acapella Z to win Individual Gold at the European Pony Championships in Bishop Burton, England. At the same championships, he also assisted Team Ireland in securing Team Silver after a nail-biting jump-off against Belgium. Bertram & Acapella Z completed the entire competition without a single fault, an exceptional performance that signaled the start of an incredible international career.

Seven years later, not to be outdone, younger brother Harry made his own mark on the Championships, riding Cassandra van het Roelhof to Individual Gold at the 2017 European Pony Championships in Kaposvár, Hungary. Like Bertram, his medal tally didn’t stop there and Harry was also a crucial part of Ireland’s Team Gold victory at the same event. We wanted to create something that gives back to the ponies that gave us so much — gear that fits well, performs, and reflects the same standard we expect at the top level. Whether it’s a stable rug or a fly sheet, ponies deserve the best, and that’s exactly what we set out to deliver,' Harry describes the thought behind this collection.

These moments were not just milestones in the Allens' showjumping careers - they have inspired everything we do at Aloga Equestrian. The Aloga Pony Blanket Range is our way of giving back to the animals that shaped our story. The range is built on the same values that brought home European gold: preparation, excellence and passion.
