easi bed- sorry, I'm really on one about bedding today!

[Racing_Gal]

Do any of you use easi bed? Would you recommend it? My horse has COPD so I need something dusty free if poss. I have never used easi bed before so dont know anything about it. Its so much cheaper than shaving atm though!

I really dont like it just not my sort of thing but there are people on my yard who use it and really like it and whos horses are really good it. Just a matter of opionion

I think it's great and have used it for years. It's not dusty and does not fly all over the place when you open the door like shavings. I start off with 6 bales in my 10 x 12 stable and do a full muck out only once a fortnight and use 4 bales a month so very cost effective. My mare's bed is lovely, warm and dry.

My friend uses it on one of her mares that has a dust allergy, i really dont like me freind is not very keen on it, but thats only because after a couple of mounths it now looks dirty although it is dry its just very disclooured now.

I have been using it up till recently.
Mare and I both like it and find it cheaper than normal shavings.
Unfortunately cannot get it in Cornwall at the moment, apparently warehouse got flooded at Easibed??

Yesterday they had some at CCF Knighton, Powys. Hope this helps someone.

I use Allbed...which is exactly the same....love it, prefer it to shavings...its not so 'fluffy' as normal shavings and makes a nice dense bed which doesnt move about much.....much less dust too.

I swapped from shavings when the prices went mental...but I wouldn't change back now.....

I use easibed in my chicken coop and its lovely. Much cheeper than shavings, smells nice and is easy to poo pick

I didn't find it as absorbant as shavings, but there is no dust with it, so if your horse has copd, i would recommend it for that reason.

I used it for 2 years..... its great for COPD as dust free,
but it does not soak up the wee very well.....
i now use Aubiose and its fantastic ..

 

[Hornby]

I use it but won't reorder when I run out - does not absorb wee well, gets discoloured and doesn't give fluffy bed. No dust though......

 

[TinselRider]

I quite like it, yes it does get dis coloured but that really doesn't bother me, I found it very absorbant and quite comfy for my horse, it tends to stay put aswell unlike shavings. (I use it with rubber mats)

I loved it, much prefer it to shavings, didnt have a problem with discolouring as I mucked it out properly every day as absolutely hate deep/semi deep litter. Would use it now if an option on my current yard.
