I am looking for cheap dust free bedding that my horse won't eat. Had him on Nedz Bed but started to eat it. Does anyone know of good big flake shavings that do not cost the earth???? And supply in the Herts area or will deliver??:)
 
My horse is sensitive to dust and has Bed down excel, works well for him. Lovely fresh smell. I only have to add 1/4-1/2 a bag a week, unlike when I was on hunter shavings adding 2 bales a week!!!

Bed Max is also good. But better when used with rubber matting IMO.
 
I use Sundown Red http://www.sundownproducts.co.uk/equine_sdRed.html
Cheaper than Bed down excel and virtually the same product. It's the only bedding I've ever used that has not affected my asthma AT ALL! It's also extremely economical - between 3 horses last winter I was using 2 bales a week (on rubber matting) and one of those was on box rest for a month and another was extremely messy (she likes to dig up her banks, poo under them and then rebuild them and also play football with any other droppings - clever pony lol!
 
I am a fan of wood pellets and you can control the moisture in the bed to prevent dust.

I find that even in summer when my beds are dry and dusty from not being used, the dust doesn't affect my asthma.

If I were to stop using pellets ( never!) I would go back to Sundown products.

LOVE the smell of the Sundown Yellow....
