Straw Pellet bedding - anybody using it ?

[mccarron6769]

If you are would you recommend it for a horse that has regular bowel movements

but is not excessively wet?

Thank you

I use it and find it sooo easy to muck out - my horse is quite dirty but the bedding doesn't stick to the muck so you don't end up wasting loads! It is mega absorbent as well.

I'd be interested in this as well - does it turn out to be expensive? What brand do you use and how much do you have to use on rubber matting?

I use nedz advance - it is quite expensive but lasts for ages so it works out more cost effective when you work out that I put in one bag a week in winter whereas was needing two bales a week of previous bedding - at the moment as my horse is in during the day and out at night I have been putting in one bag every two weeks - he is on rubber matting though. I use it alongside another chopped straw product in the banks and have the advance on the floor. I have never had easier mucking out and it is extremely absorbent - plus you take out such a small amount you end up wasting less!

Anyone know if Nedz advance are the only straw pellets available? Will a horse eat them and do you have to have rubber mats or can you use on concrete floor?
