I use stovies wood pellets and get a tonne delivered about April time, store them out in the garden on the pallet under a tarpaulin and they are fine. Last year my tonne lasted all winter. I deep litter and to be honest unless there was a bit in his stable that was evidently wet, I didn't lift the wet bits. I find that it needs the moisture from the wet bits to form a base for the bed. I found that it didn't go sopping wet or stink like shavings do, and all I did was skim the dry stuff off about April/May time and lift the rest.
My horse is in a 12x 12 stable that also has rubber mats, however he is very habitual in where he pees, poos and sleeps so I dont need a full bed in his stable, I usualy do half and he is fine (hes a 15.2 cob).
I think I was about £230 inc delivery from Stovies (www.hotstovies.com) but shhhh I did say they were for burning and paid the lesser VAT...the pellets are exactly the same as the ones sold for equestrian bedding.
