Or am I it's only advocate!?!?!?!?!
Personally, I love straw. As long as it's not fousty or damp, that is! We've used shavings in the past when one of our ponies had an allergy, but as a preference, we've always come back to straw. Nothing else looks as cosy on a winter's evening, and horses seem to love being able to just sink to their knees in a 2ft deep bed of straw! I dont believe people when they say that straw is dirty; it's only dirty and hard to muck out when you try to deep litter it - in which case, I admit it is a nightmare! I understand that some horses chomp their way through a bed in the space of a night; luckily, we've not had one that does this!
So, am I alone? I suspect so.....
