Two
What size is your stable?
Both 12x12
What type of bedding do you use in your horses stable?
Genie - Aubiose
Milly - Wood pellets
How often do you clean your horses stable out?
Skip out every day, big muck out once a week
How much on average do you spend on bedding per week?
One bale of Aubiose, two bags of woodpellets - £17
On average how many bags/bales of bedding do you use a week?
One bale of Aubiose. 2 bags of woodpellets (but have changed supplier so hopefully soon down to 1 bag a week)
How do you store your bedding?
Stacked on a pallet in the barn - everyone has a pallet but I have the only huge pallet as I have two horses.
How do you dispose of your bedding?
Goes on the yard muckheap

In winter overnight - approx 12 hours but varies.
In summer daytime only - average 5/6 hours
Does your horse suffer from any respiratory problems?
No, neither does.
If there was one thing you could change about the bedding you use, what would this be?
Woodpellets - rubbish if you like a nice white bed although I've learnt to live with it.
Aubiose - the price and the packaging breaks REALLY easily.
