Liverpool Wood Pellets - Again - Sorry

[mandy4727]

I understand the principle and realise the savings in cost with shavings being £7 a bale. A couple on our yard use the pellets and are really taken by them. But i hate it when the beds go all brown looking. I use 3 bales of shaings a week to try to keep my dirty mares bed looking "clean". I can take up to 3 barrows a day out of her but mostly 1 and half. She is on full rubber mats. Anyone manage to keep their pellets looking white ish or will I have to put up with a brown bed. How would the pellets with a sprinkle of shavings workout to keep it looking white and clean?

Always seems to go sand coloured, sorry, it's the only thing I have against them as otherwise, they are brilliant and it's a small price to pay for dry, reasonably priced beds I think!

I mix in shavings. Keep clean shavings in banks and every day draw a bit from the banks. It will never be a shavings bed but will brigten up the bed. I am using natures best pellets which are much brighter than the LWP. Brilliant stuff though, and I have two very dirty horses.

Have just taken delivery of 50 x 10kg from Corley Biowood - £159delivered (and loaded!!) Fast and efficient service and they seem the same at Aquamax (£6.89 for 13kg bag). I love Aquamax but mare is so horrendously untidy in her stable its untrue. I can just about cope with her on pellets - instead of 3 wheelbarrows per morning only 1 on pellets! Will report back on how the Corley biowood ones go!!

Liverpool Wood Pellets just won't work if you're fastidious about taking out the wet and discoloured bits every day. The pellets need the moisture to bulk up so are best suited for a semi deep litter bed. I've had mine on them for two weeks and I only take out the poo every morning then rake the bed around a bit. The damp patches left in the morning are gone by the afternoon. I took out 1.5 barrows of wet each time I lifted the entire bed.
