there was a thread a few weeks ago about it. Alot of rave reviews, i was told that it can stain greys but was shot down as now paper bedding is made specifically for horses now, not just shreaded untreated newspaper

I worked on a yard where the majority of there horses were bedded on untreated newspaper. The YO had her own shredder and used to raid the paper bank next to the bottle bank for her newspaper.
It was a good bedding but it was very heavy and wan't always the easiest to seperate the clean from the wet as the bedding was in rather long strips, we mucked out by hand so it took quite a while.

Short chop is FAR easier than long... when my pony had a cast on her leg we had her on long shreds for a few days before we changed to short - she kept getting it all wound round her cast
I LOVE paper. Yes it can be heavy and it can blow around if you're not careful, but it's easy to look after once established and my horses have loved it. I grew up with paper though and I don't get on so much with straw (plus my horse snacks on any type of straw
). I'm about to start my horse on shavings so we'll see whether I'll be sticking with that or trying desperately to find a paper supplier!

The only thing I wouldn't have again is elephant grass. We use it at work on the rubber matting, just a sprinkling thats supposed to soak up anything but it's appaling. No absorbancy at all, blows about and gets stuck in manes and tails. Oh and gets stuck in the corridor, but thats more due to our 1864 tiled floor. One of our grooms tried it with his TB mare at home on a deep bed and it gave her sore soles! Probs a combination of appaling TB feet and sharp bedding rather than just hte bedding tho.
