There is a large range of bedding materials, from the popular straw and shavings through to recycled by-products from other industries. Deciding on a bedding can be a headache and things get more complicated if your horse has allergies. Things to consider before purchasing bedding: Health Concerns - if your horse allergic to dust then his performance can be affected if you choose the wrong bedding Econonic – do you have a tight budget?Labour – some materials can be heavy to move once soiledAvailability – Is your choice of bed readily available locally – all year? Your preference – You will be the one mucking out each day – which material do you prefer working with? Picking a bedding like paper or cardboard could pay dividends when there is a shortage of harvestable crops
Some things to remember:
· How absorbent is it? · The levels of dust is created· The amount of cushioning and support · Labour involved with lifting and forking · Can it be used as a deep-litter bedding? · Allergic reactions · Storage – do you have enough space and can you move it when needed? · Will your horse eat the bedding?· Will it go mouldy?· Disposal – does it decompose quickly on the muckheap and will the contents be collected?
