This guide is for horse owners and stable managers seeking high-quality, absorbent, and safe bedding. The key benefit is providing a comfortable and healthy environment for horses due to its chemical-free and dust-free nature. A potential caveat is the large jumbo pack size, which requires adequate storage space. This product offers traditional bedding made from kiln-dried softwood, ensuring high absorbency and a safe choice for animals with allergies or respiratory issues.

These shavings are manufactured from kiln-dried softwood.
Yes, they are free from all chemicals and are dust-free, making them safe for horses with allergies or respiratory problems.
They are described as highly absorbent, designed to wick away moisture effectively.
The product contains two 20kg packs, totaling 40kg.
Store the packs in a dry, cool place to maintain their quality and absorbency.
While designed for horses, their safe, chemical-free, and absorbent properties might make them suitable for other large animals. Always research or consult an expert for specific animal needs.
Ensure the packaging is intact. Store in a dry area immediately. Kiln drying reduces moisture, but external humidity can affect stored products.
While this bedding is dust-free, a horse may have an individual sensitivity or there could be other environmental factors. Consult with your veterinarian.
Break up any clumps that may have formed during transit or storage. Use a fork to fluff and distribute the shavings across the stable floor.
Ensure you have used an adequate initial depth. Check if the bedding has been stored in a damp environment, which could affect its absorbency.
Setup: Spread the shavings evenly across the stable floor to create a comfortable and absorbent bed. For a new bed, start with a generous layer and top up as needed.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most standard stable designs and bedding management practices. It is suitable for horses of all sizes and temperaments. While generally safe, always monitor your individual horse's reaction to any new bedding material.
Care: Remove soiled bedding regularly (spot clean daily). Fully muck out and replace bedding as needed, typically every 1-3 weeks depending on usage and management. Store the jumbo packs in a dry, cool place to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
