We have Equisorb..........fab stuff, really really absorbant and easy to use. I use it for all of the Part liveries. Only downside is if your horse tramples their poo as it's then hard to find, but just throw it up on the banks and the poo falls out. For my horses I use Equisorb and Easibed mixed together. I use a bale of each a week (so 2 bales per horse), but they are in 24/7 at the mo, and this works amazingly well.
 
I used equisorb or flax from local supplier its great stuff. I used to use 1 bag a week but in winter that went up to 2 if in a lot.
 
I used it when I first brought the horses in for the winter, hated it, just too difficult to work with. May well be that it took too long to settle and I had a new mare who was box walking.

I have changed everything over to Hunters shavings which is very similar to Snowflakes which I can't get hold of now, love Hunters though.
 
Ive used megazorb before but prefer hemcore.Its best if you deep litter .You will need about 5 bags then half bag top up per week.Its very economical and smells fab.Once the bed has settled its really quick and easy to muck out.No more wet rugs or stinky patches.The bedding smells of lemon.Several of liveries have switched they were so impressed with it.Its similiar to shavings but high absorbancy.
 
I used equisorb and liked it and i laid a megazorb base under it tohelp keep the wet on the bottom. I have a gortty mare and it worked well with her but i rocketed in price from 6.75 to almost 8 and im sure it gone up even more since then.

I havent used hemcore tho so dont know about that. The only draw back with equisorb is that it doesnt stay a ligh colour and if not kept topped up will look darker.
 
I used megasorb but my horse liked to eat it ! I stopped using it because i was scared he would get colic, shame, as i liked it.
