And eats it too? Is that for real?

wow, I wonder if my local court would give me free paper bedding??

I have a horse similar to that, allergic to dust, pollen and his own sweat, plus a host of other little things. There is a local charity by us that do loads of shredding, including court papers. Its cut into reals small bits, so its just like mucking out paper. The bags are about the same size as a bale of shavings, but obviously not as tightly packed. £1.30 a bag, costs me half of what it used to when I used shavings, and my horse stopped coughing the day after I changed him over.

mucking out shavings that should have been.

I used to use shreded secret documents from the MOD, was cut up really fine. Worked well. I got it free as well.

~I do my own shredding! But be interested if i could get some off of our local courts??
Save me standing for so many hours shredding!
But eating paper is that for real??
My horse sometimes has the odd strand in her mouth but eating for dinner?????

But didn't it take you ages piecing them all together again to see what was so secret...?

 

[Ferdinase514]

I think it probably means that he uses it as his bed and eats his food on it...rather than he eats the papaer itself?!

 

[dieseldog]

Nothing that interesting ever happened at our site. It was usually secret because the secret bin was closer than the unclassified bin

I collect the shredded paper from where I work only our shredder cuts the paper into matchstick size pieces which is great - and we have top secret stuff!!! It's an endless supply of free bedding!!
