How much do you pay per bale of shavings? I am new to shavings and would like to know the average so that I don't get ripped off. Thank You.

£6, bought off the YO. I only use the odd bale for my horsebox.

 

[itsmyparty]

Just over a fiver if we buy 3 or more at a time. Nearer £6 if we buy fewer than 3.

 

[spaniel]

£5.85 to £6.20 for Hunters 25kg (depending on how many I buy at a time).

 

[Stoxx]

I pay £6.50 from the yard or if I bother to go down to the local saddlery then £6. So no real difference, that's for Hunters.

 

[Heidi1]

£5.50 off the YO............

 

[nijinsky]

£4.99 per bale.

I get mine from the local woodshavings merchant. They're £4.40 which IMO is cheap but some bales are really heavy and a few come up light. It's pot luck what you get.

£5.90 for a bale of Beddown and £5.95 for Hunter shavings (Hunter are the better ones i think!!) Both from local tack shops

I can't believe the prices vary so much, crikey!

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

We sell Millwood, which is the west country Snowflake under a different brand name, for £6.50, but discount a lot for pallet loads, and even more if you have a pallet load and we can just forklift it onto your own transport!

A lot of customers are moving onto miscanthus though, we sell Fennington Fibres at £5.25.
