    What shavings do you use?

    What shavings do you use?

    Hello, I'm moving my horses from being out 24/7 to being in a stable purely because my young horse has lost a lot of confidence over the winter just hacking out, so I'm moving somewhere with an arena!!

My saddle fitter seems to think kent and masters will suit his shape nicely so would be looking at the s-series dressage saddle with surface blocks. My question really is what are they like? Never really experienced this...
