Horse bedding
Softwood shavings offer the perfect equine bedding for all horses; particularly those that suffer from respiratory issues or have a habit of eating alternative bedding. With dust-extracted wood shavings, horses get a long-lasting, comfortable, highly absorbent bedding area that stays in place well under the hoof. Ultimately, sleep is vitally important for horse health and physical activity, ensuring they have a comfortable bedding area reduces risks of long-term health issues and greatly improves welfare.

Benefits
Wood shavings are a popular bedding choice for horses for several reasons:
- Absorbency: Wood shavings are highly absorbent, helping to soak up moisture from urine and water, keeping the horse’s stall drier and cleaner.
- Comfort: The soft and fluffy nature of shavings creates a cushioned surface for horses to stand or lie down on, reducing pressure on their joints and hooves.
- Odor Control: Wood shavings can help neutralize odors, especially the smell of ammonia from urine. Pine and other aromatic woods can further enhance this effect.
- Dust Control: High-quality, dust-extracted wood shavings help minimize respiratory issues in horses, making them a healthier option compared to straw or other bedding materials that may be dustier.
- Easy to Clean: Wood shavings make it easier to spot-clean stalls, as wet and soiled areas can be easily removed while keeping clean shavings in place.
- Cost-Effective: Depending on the region, wood shavings can be an affordable bedding option, especially if sourced locally.
- Environmentally Friendly: Wood shavings can be composted after use, making them an eco-friendly option when disposed of correctly.
