Blanket holder in horse supplies | Alfako
A blanket holder in the horse supplies section keeps the tack room or tack cupboard tidy and organised. Blanket holders make it easier for riders to keep their riding equipment such as horse blankets, saddle cloths and saddle pads neat and tidy. The rug holder is used for storing and drying rugs.
Ceiling holders are available in different types, colours, sizes, materials and shapes. The position of the ceiling mount is also variable and can be freely selected according to personal preference. When purchasing a ceiling bracket, you can opt for a small bracket (one ceiling) or a large bracket (up to 10 ceilings).
What types of blanket holders are there for horses?
The following list shows the types of blanket holders available for horses.
- Ceiling bracket for a ceiling: Small ceiling bracket with space for only one blanket.
- Ceiling bracket for multiple ceilings: Large ceiling brackets can hold up to 10 ceilings. Large ceiling brackets consist of 3 to 10 (swivelling) arms
- Ceiling bracket for hanging: Hanging ceiling brackets are simply hung from the outside of the box door or anywhere else without drilling or screws.
- Ceiling bracket with chain: A ceiling bracket with chain is used to hang the bracket freely and for flexible (dis)assembly of the bracket.
- Movable ceiling bracket: Movable ceiling brackets can be swivelled, pulled out or folded to ensure different usage options.
- Heated ceiling brackets: Heated rug holders are suitable for quickly drying horse rugs, saddlecloths and saddle pads.
- Ceiling bracket including bridle holder: A blanket holder including bridle holder serves as a 2-in-1 solution for the simultaneous storage of blankets and bridles.
- Ceiling brackets made of different materials: Ceiling brackets are available in different materials (e.g. plastic, steel or metal).
- Ceiling bracket in various colours: Ceiling brackets are available in different colours, such as black, silver, green or blue.
What do you store on a ceiling bracket?
For example, saddle rugs, sweat rugs, rain or winter rugs, fly rugs, saddle pads, riding rugs, under rugs or transport rugs can be stored on a rug holder. The number of rugs you own determines the size and number of hangers you buy.
In addition to horse rugs, there is also space for other riding equipment on the rug holder, as storage is not just limited to rugs. Horse owners can also store equipment such as gaiters, gloves or riding socks on the blanket holder. All riding accessories can be dried quickly with a heated blanket holder, especially when wet.
What are ceiling brackets made of?
Most blanket holders are made of metal or steel, which is why the holders are water-repellent and robust and can withstand a lot of weight. Thanks to the high stability of the blanket holders, it is possible to hang up even dripping wet blankets after riding without any problems and store them safely.
Metal and steel ensure that the riding rugs are stored in a way that is gentle on the material, preventing mould and unpleasant odours. Thanks to the long service life and easy-care handling of metal and steel, you can benefit from the rug holders for several years.
Where are ceiling brackets attached?
Horse blanket holders are attached to the wall or ceiling of the tack room, inside the tack cupboard or on the outside of the stall door. Most saddle racks are bolted to the wall or ceiling, but there are also other saddle racks that are simply hooked into the stall door.
There are also ceiling mounts with a fixed stand that can be positioned anywhere in the barn. Ceiling mounts are very stable so that they do not fall over, drop or give way despite the high load weight. Before buying a ceiling bracket, decide where you want to attach it so that you can choose the right model.
What do you need to consider when buying a ceiling bracket?
When buying a blanket holder, it is important to choose the right size, the right type and the desired colour. Before purchasing the ceiling holder, consider how many blankets are to be stored, in what location and for what purpose. Make sure that you have enough space for the holder.
The following list shows in detail what you need to consider when buying a ceiling bracket.
- Size: The size of the blanket holder should be selected according to the number of blankets to be stored. If you only want to store one horse blanket directly next to the box, a simple blanket holder bar for hanging is sufficient. However, if you have several horse rugs, you will need a large holder with several brackets.
- Art: Before buying a ceiling bracket, think about what type of bracket you need. If it is important to you that it is heatable, retractable, swivelling or free-hanging, decide on the appropriate type of ceiling bracket.
- Colour: Think about the colour of the ceiling mount in advance if you value the appearance of the mount. Ceiling brackets are available in different colours such as black, silver, blue or green.
- Location: Consider the location where you want to install or set up the ceiling bracket. Different locations require different materials and different amounts of space for different types of ceiling brackets.
- Purpose: Consider what the primary purpose of your rug holder is. If you want to use the holder primarily for drying, we recommend purchasing an electronic dryer specifically for horse rugs. If you only intend to store the blankets on the blanket holder, simple holders are sufficient.
- Place: Calculate how much space you have available for installing and storing the ceiling bracket and find out the size of the ceiling bracket you require. For a large, heatable ceiling bracket, for example, you need to create enough space in the barn.
- Addition for the tack locker: If you need storage for horse rugs when travelling, an add-on for the saddle locker or a drawer in the show locker is an option for you. With an add-on in the saddle cupboard, you can also keep your blankets organised when you are on the move.
Ceiling brackets: Our variants from Alfako
Feel free to browse through our Alfako variants if you still need a blanket rack in your equipment. In addition to a classic blanket holder, we also have shelves and a top cabinet for saddle and horse blankets. The trio of saddle holder, snaffle holder and blanket holder should not be missing in any tack room.
Classic ceiling bracket
Our online shop for equestrian supplies has a classic ceiling bracket in the form of a metal bar. The bar, which is available in green, blue and silver, is simply mounted on the outside of the box or on any wall and has two integrated bridle hooks. The width of the ceiling bracket is 70 centimetres. Our ceiling bracket is sold in packs of 10.
Shelf for saddle and horse blankets
Our stepped metal rack for saddle and horse blankets is ideal for storing and drying all types of blankets. Thanks to the stepped and widely spaced struts of the rack, the drying process of the blankets is accelerated. The struts of the blanket rack are removable and individually height-adjustable.
The shelf is available in the colours blue, silver and green and is 200 centimetres high, 146 centimetres wide and 43 centimetres deep. The shelf for saddle and horse blankets must be attached to the wall with screws to prevent the shelf from tipping forwards.
Top cupboard for horse rugs and saddle pads
It is possible to purchase a top cabinet especially for saddle and horse blankets if you do not require the blankets to hang freely using a blanket holder. The top cabinet fits our Economy, Prestige and Comfort saddle cabinets and is available in Mini, Midi and Maxi sizes.
Please note that all editions of our Alfako tack lockers (except for the Mini and Midi Economy sizes) already have an integrated drawer or extra shelf. The drawers or shelves included in the tack cabinet are made exclusively for blankets and upholstery.
