Bedding

Does anybody mix anything in with wood pellets?

I get 2 10kg bags of wood pellets a week included in livery and frequently have to buy extra. Was looking into mixing something like easibed in the bed to try and bulk it out for the winter.

Any thoughts appreciated x

I would have thought that 2 bags would be fine per week. I tend to use 1 15kg bag per week per horse, 2 if the horse is in 24/7. However it does need a decent sized bed to start with. So If i were you I would simply buy a few more bags of the wood pellets, make up a good deep bed then the 2 a week will be fine. I personally would not mix in anything like easy bed as it will make the bed harder to muck out.
