Which bedding for shelter with earth floor?

[custard]

As above really just off to get some more megazorb as it seems pretty good but anyone found anything better?

I like the fact it comes in easy to handle bags, isn't too heavy and the empty sacks are great for muck collecting but open to better ideas still!

well, i just have Mayomats (Foam-rubber matting) down in mine with no bedding, and take the muck out every day. but i'm probably a horriblemummy to my horses!

Anything like Megazorb or what I use which is Aubiose - in my case its the stable that has the earth floor as the horses are in the old cart barn until the new stables go up last week in August,

Aubiose is fantasic on the earth floor and easy to pour out and doesnt stick to the horse either! He loves it too, big 17hh boy and he lies down lots on it and looks v happy.

Are we just talking field shelter? I use nothing in mine! They never use it to sleep in and on the rare occasion I've acquired a bale of straw, they just eat it, pee on it, then sleep outside!

Have you thought of trying pea-shingle? Heard good reports of this. It gives under weight so provides a nice bed, is free draining and excellent for feet, too. It's insulating, too.
