FAQs
How often should I muck out the stable?
Ideally, you should muck out the stable daily to remove droppings and soiled bedding. This helps maintain a clean and healthy environment.
How much Bedmax should I use initially?
Start with a base layer of approximately 8-12 inches of Bedmax shavings, adjusting based on your horse's needs and the stable size.
How can I tell if the bedding needs to be topped up?
When the bedding depth reduces or if you notice an increase in wet spots, it's time to top up with fresh shavings.
Is Bedmax suitable for horses with allergies?
Yes, Bedmax is often a good choice for horses with allergies due to its low dust content. However, always monitor your horse for any adverse reactions.
How do I store Bedmax shavings?
