Shavings

I did like the megazorb but it just seemed to compress together and dissapear, but it was so easy to muck out.
I like the medium sized shavings, you get big banks and they look nice and bouncy to lie on!
 
Really??? Guess mine never lasts long enough to breakdown to dust as Sparks pees for England!!!

I'm fine and Sparks is hormonal!!!

Shavings - if I use straw the greedy chap eats it ,here in Spain they feed straw and so when I first got here and made up the bed beautifully banked the locals thought I was barmy !!
 
I usually use shavings but atm, due to being skint and a shavings shortage round here, I am using sawdust, which is free from the local wood yard. It comes in really big bags and I use 1 bag per week per horse, I have quite wet horses and the sawdust keeps the beds that bit drier.
I have mats in 2 stables and the other one is deep litter.
 
Aubiose is brilliant but a bit pricey!!!! Presently using a 50/50 mix of shavings and chopped straw which our local tack shop stocks - cheaper and still quite good. Both of these go well on mats.
