Many of us traditionally opt to layer blankets as temperature drop or hope the solid weight rug we have will be enough to see our horse through colder nights. But Aloga liners are a more efficient, comfortable solution for both you and your horse.
Aloga liners are designed to enhance the versatility of compatible blankets that your horse wears. Here’s are some of the reasons why you should consider layering with liners as winter starts to creep in:
ADD WARMTH WITHOUT BULK
A key benefit of using an Aloga Liner is being able to add extra warmth to your horse’s blanket without increasing bulkiness. Layering blankets can be cumbersome, restrictive and a potential safety hazard as they are prone to slipping or movement. Also – all those straps!! In contrast, an Aloga Liner is lightweight but thermally efficient, providing an additional layer of warmth without compromising your horse’s mobility. Aloga liners are designed to be lightweight, breathable and have minimal attachments.
CUSTOMISABlE VERSATILITY
Instead of buying several different blankets for varying temperatures, an Aloga Liner allows you to customise your horse’s compatible blankets according to the weather. On milder days, a light-weight rug paired with the liner is often sufficient, while on days where the temperature drops, the liner can be used with a medium-weight blanket for increased warmth. This adaptability makes it much easier to adjust your horse’s blankets throughout the winter without multiple blankets piling up in your tack room.
COST-EFFECTIVE
Purchasing a full range of heavy, medium and light-weight blankets can be costly. An Aloga Liner provides a budget-friendly approach to blanketing by extending the functionality of your existing compatible rugs. Rather than investing in blankets of every weight, adding a liner to your collection allows you to adjust those you own as needed (provided they have liner loops). In the long run, this can save you money while remaining fully flexible to cater to your horse’s individual needs.
LAYER SAFELY
Layering multiple blankets can lead to the fabric bunching and can create restrictive pressure points, uneven distribution of weight and potential rubbing. An Aloga Liner is designed to fit snugly under your primary blanket without causing these issues. Liners are shorter in depth, so they sit neatly under the outer blanket. The single Velcro front closure lies flush against your horse’s chest and is lightweight to prevent friction. Two tab closures easily attach the liner to compatible blankets such as the Aloga Pro Turnouts that are fitted with liner loops while it is secured using trigger clips to the D rings at the back of the blanket. Once attached it acts as part of the outer blanket and can be put on or taken off at the same time.
EASY TO CLEAN
Another advantage of using an Aloga Liner is that it’s much easier to clean and maintain than outer blankets. We all know how quickly horse blankets become dirty and smelly, but washing a heavy winter rug is no easy task. Aloga liners are lighter with little hardware and are machine washable. They can be easily removed and washed regularly keeping the inner of your horse’s blanket clean and preventing the build-up of hair and grim. This extends the lifespan of your outer rug by reducing the frequent washing.
Aloga liners can be used with turnout or stable blankets that have liner loops at the neck and is a smart investment for any horse owner looking to make rugging more adaptable and comfortable for their horses this winter.
