What Bedding could I use on a yard that doesn't Allow Wood Type Bedding,
Not Straw Please as he eats it!

Aubiose/hemp? Flax?(rodents love flax , so beware) Megasorb, my favourite, wood pulp, Is that allowed?

Uni bed. Was recommended to me when I asked the exact same! It’s the cheapest I’ve found and I really like it. The green rape straw bales

I like straw pellets (not had anyone try and eat them so far) and a friend uses chopped miscanthus. Both pretty absorbent and fast to muck out. Rot down very quick so will keep the yard owner happy.

Great thank you! My pony is very spoilt so I love love shavings as there so soft but becuase they put the muck on there own fields they want something that rots down quicker

The chopped rape straw (aubiose/unibed/equinola/raviera/etc) rots down really quickly too - one of the reasons we use it. We have that with straw pellets under it at the wee spot.

The straw pellets break down into a yellow/brownish sawdust type bed. I like it as it's dead quick to muck out but if you like a big soft fluffy bed I'd go for the chopped miscanthus. My friends horse is massive and he flops down in that no trouble, still pretty good for mucking out as it's very absorbent.
I put my muck heap on the fields too so no woodshavings here!

Beware some horse eat straw pellets and they can make them very ill seen a few posts on here about it.
