I 'persuaded' OH to buy an industrial cardboard shredder so he can use it as packing & I can use it as bedding, rather than paying for removal. It can shred up to 8 ply cardboard.

I am a bit of a clean stable freak and I have found it fabulous. If you had to buy it I dont know how cost effective it would be, but it is so absorbant that I can locate the pee patch and remove it all in one 'scoop' without leaving any damp material behind. When I sweep up, apart from bits oi hay there is no dust or dirt, its great.

Initialy I made a mistake of shredding lengths too long and it made picking the poos out a bit difficult without getting lots of bedding.

Shredding is rather fun too (must get out more). Am going to experiment with paper next.
 
When pony was in horspital they were on cardboard and really liked it. Don't think i'd use to without rubber matting though
