Hemp or Alternatives in Gloucestershire

[RachelFerd]

Posting on behalf of my mum here - horse is currently stabled on shredded paper, which is not absorbent enough for very mucky horse. He is actually down on rubber matting, but I have had success with hemp bedding, and was wondering if anyone could suggest a supplier of good value hemp, or another alternative, in the gloucester/bristol area?

The paper shreds are £6.50 a bale i think, so anything around that price range (but more absorbent) would actually be saving money really...

thoughts?

I use a flax bedding called Thorobed which comes in bulk from a company called Allenshill. It's like Equisorb, and very absorbent. I buy 36 bales at a time, which is about £6.70 ish pe bale delivered.
