Best bedding for messy horses

[samp]

OK so my horse has lovely rubber mats and shavings bed, as much as it pains me to do it she's just so dirty and spends her time standing in her manure. What bedding is best for horses that pooh just about everywhere and will also help her feet/ frogs start to look healthy

I've tried loads of beddings!-Straw/shavings mix (Sundown Red) is what mine are on and I love it- one was too messy on paper.

Or something like this http://www.fivestarbedding.co.uk/

You could also try Cardboard?www.harbourbedding.co.uk/
mine were clean on that
or Bedrap which is dust extracted/chopped rapestraw and v cost effective

I would say wood pellets. They are the most absorbent bedding i've found.

We have a horse like this, turns her stable in to a complete tip! so we give her hardly any bed at all, just enough to soak up the wet stuff.

Our stable is using Equucel at the moment, went over to it a few months ago from hemp. Its new on the market, apparently being launched at HOYS. We have found it to be one of the best beddings we have used, we have some messy horses and stallions, it great for both, the stallion has very strong urine and their is no smell now when mucking out, where he wets it just clumps together, very absorbent. Also mucking out is much easier, you pick up hardly any of the bed as it is small pellets. Just lay and leave, can't be bothered with the bedding you have to wet after, just to much work, it stays put on both rubber and concrete. One of our horses has asthma and we have tried all different types of bedding and most the time a reaction but to this no reaction, very impressed so far. One of the girls on our yard loves it as she really has a messy horse, but now she finds it so much easier to clean, cut the time in half.
