please pm me with the 2 brands or post the brands for all. (you must be fed up by now with all the pm's)
I used to use pellets from LWP and did like them except for one major flaw. In the really cold snap we had when temperatures were way below freezing I found the beds actually froze! They were rock hard and very uncomfortable. I tried changing the amount of water added to them but then they were dusty. Anybody else have this problem?
Could you PM me with the brands as well please.
I gave up with LWP a couple of years ago after problems with quality, delivery and the company's awful manner in dealing with customer complaints.
Since then I've been using Blue Ribbon pellets and found them lovely people to deal with.
Very interested in your findings.
I have been trialling two different wood pellets along side one another with interesting results that I thought you might like to share.......
Both horses in 12 hrs a day and wee for England! Skip daily with once a week wet removal
This is a weeks wet out of the 'premium' bed (and he is normally the wetter out of the two!)
And the weeks wet out of the cheaper pellet bed (but not a 'cheap value' pellet) Still only one trip to the muck heap tho!
And after 4+ weeks use these are the beds after a quick mix up with some green gloop/water (helps with freshness/fly repellant purposes) and relaid for another week of quick 5 min skip outs and a quick sprinkle daily from the watering can in hot weather.
Premium Bed (to which I have only added 2 (15kg) bags since I set it up!!)
'Other' bed (to which I have added 4 (15kg) bags, one after each 'clear out' )
