    Hock Spavin and Steroid injections? Any advice/experiences please?

    Cardboard bedding - what companies?

    Hi, I have recently tried both EcoBed and Green Mile. I got the Ecobed from a local feed/bedding/tack shop and wasn't all that impressed. I then got Green Mile delivered to the yard - the bedding is very nice in that is fluffs up and seems quite a comfy bed. I think it is more absorbent than...
